            Palm Oil Mills And Harvest - Indonesia

            Palm Oil Mills And Harvest - Indonesia

            Women workers were seen during oil palm fruit harvesting activities at one of the palm oil plantations and factories in Sei Lepan, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia on August 06, 2024. Based on data from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), palm oil mills produce 2.5 metric tons of liquid waste for every metric ton. The direct release of this liquid waste can cause freshwater pollution, which affects biodiversity and downstream communities. Although palm oil plantations are not large users of pesticides and fertilizers, the indiscriminate use of these materials can pollute surface and groundwater sources.
