InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA - Palm oil plantations which develop for more than 104 years and the cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia, now become the main actors in the world. Palm oil is one commodity for the population which reached nine billion men to consume.
In palm oil plantations, male works in many numbers but it needs to change the concept because female now can work in palm oil sectors. “We have to change the mindset and deliver chances for female to get careers in this sector,” Chairman of Incorporated Society of Planters Malaysia, Datuk Haji Daud Amatzin said in a webinar that InfoSAWIT attended in February 2023.
Gender issue should be our agenda to develop the future palm oil plantations. In addition, it is internationally discussed. There are clever female workers than male ones.
“They could get higher education but do not get chances to develop their careers. That is why palm oil sector opens chances for female to develop theirs namely palm oil plantation is the most sustainable of other vegetable oil industries,” he said. (T2)
