Uncertainties in coffee and rubber prices prompted Fauconnier to experiment with oil palm planting. He had heard about the oil palm from his friend in 1906 and in 1911, visited his friend’s oil palm plantation in Deli, Sumatera, to obtain a few seedlings (Deli Dura species) to plant. Convinced that the crop was viable, Fauconnier finally decided to plant the crop for its oil at Tennamaram Estate in Selangor in 1917; effectively laying the foundation for the development of the palm oil industry in Malaysia.” title_text=”Fact 1″ show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” /][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

A growing need for palm oil and an emphasis on research are adding new jobs to the Malaysian economy every year. Significant investment in developing new downstream sectors and harnessing palm oil biomass will create more than new 66,000 jobs. With the reliable oil yields and long-term planting cycles, farmers have secured a reliable income for their families and benefited from the income and stability.
