An excursion to the Sime Darby Plantation in December organized by the MCG was definitely a unique experience. Located about an hour and a half out of Kuala Lumpur by bus was surely an answer to the many questions we all had from our various travels throughout Malaysia. What are those Green trees that look so beautiful in the distance? Could it be a Coconut Grove, Date Plantation or something else? Well surprise, surprise its non-other than the faster growing industry in Malaysia OIL PALM TREES. | ||
SDP is a privately owned, well managed and environmentally conscious organisation.Their aim is to provide a sustainable industry whilst protecting the environment with low amounts of Bio degradable waste, with the FUTURE in mind.

So,a shrewd French Entrepreneur took the initiative and planted the first Oil Palm tree in Selangor, Malaysia, purely for Commercial use and ‘Voila’!!
