Young oil palms
Palm oil is now an important energy
source widely acknowledged as a versatile and nutritious vegetable oil. Production
in Malaysia has increased from only 1.3 million tonnes in 1975, through 4.1
million tonnes in 1985 and 7.8 million tonnes in 1995 to 18.2 million tonnes in
2010/11.
Malaysia supplies 27.1% of world total palm oil and together with Indonesia, supply over one half of total trade in vegetable
oils.
To those who wish to know more of the
benefits from this oil and its products, the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) provides
real time information via their website here.

ReplyDeleteyet i heard Felda needs a lot more, wonder if it's true. i remembered one season where my neighbors brought oil palm dried products and use as garden fertilizer. have a nice day
Hi CV,
ReplyDeleteThe compost fm mill waste, I used them for our vege garden and the fruit trees... yap very very good for plants
Felda-Sahabat is also very huge,about 90 mins drive from Lahad Datu. They hv a beach resort there. Those days pirates terrorized this place, planters needed to move in groups as security was too tense. I was told a bomb-trap laid across the jungle path, blasted one vehicle n a young manager fm Malacca died on the spot.
Being you I suppose you wont last a week living in a plantation! hehe
Cheers
