Reflection - Palm Oil Plantation

After visiting the palm oil plantation and processing plant, I have learnt that simple items like cooking oil must go through a long and tedious process before becoming what it is in the supermarket. The raw materials must be grown in apt conditions, harvested in its prime, processed meticulously and packet properly. All these require machinery and heavy manual labour. Also, land distribution and planning is imperative for the process to go smoothly. There must be a large area of land designated for such agricultural use. Factories, which process and sell their products, must also be near the plantation itself and towns or stores. Effective transport routes and vehicles are also required.
