The scale at Teik Joo Chan SDN. BHD, measures the weight of oil palm fruits from Shadira Hizlyn's smallholder farm (less than 98 acres.40 hectares). The truck, carrying the fruits, is weighed full and then empty to determine the weight of oil palm fruit sold to the dealer.
Teik Joo Chan sends workers and a truck to collect fruit sold to it. That way, smallholder palm oil farmers do not have to bear the heavy investment of buying and maintaining a truck.
