Reflection on 2nd destination: Oil Palm Plantation & Harvest fruit factory

Oil palm fruit

After visiting the Oil Palm Plantation,

I realised that palm oil can only be obtained after much hard work.

We should not waste it or take it for granted.

I've learnt many things there,

such as the four different stages for processing the extraction of palm oil.

Another thing that I'd learnt was only twenty percent of palm oil can be extracted from each fruit.

The tour guide taught us many things as well. Such as how to differentiate between the male, female and unisex plants.

She told us that the leftover fruit can be used as fertilisers and to generate electricity.

Personally, I feel that the people who work in the plantation are very hardworking.

This is because regardless of rain or shine, they still carry out their work.

Without them, we would not have palm oil to cook up delicious food that fill up our stomaches. We all should be grateful to them for their selfless devotion, and to the fact that they had made our lives easier with palm oil being readily available in our neighbourhood's supermarket.

Although a stench could be whiffed, these workers put up with it and continued their work.

That is really admirable to me.


Here are some pictures that we took:

Before visiting the oil palm plantation,

I always wondered how oil was produced and I had no idea about it.
However, after this trip, I was able to find the answer to my question and gain beneficial knowledge (eg. History of oil).

This trip to the oil palm plantation was a really profitable one.
