It is planted next young oil palm trees while they are being established. These palms are approximately three years old. The Sindora Palm Oil Plantation, owned by Kulim, is green certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) for its environmental, economic, and socially sustainable practices.
