Bah Acin, an indigenous Semai man, from Kampung Chenderong Kelubi, cuts oil palm fruits in Sadira Hizlyn's 3 acres/1.2 hectare oil palm farm in Perak, Malaysia.
Snakes, like the venemous cobra and bees, Bah Acin says, are the biggest worry while harvesting oil palm fruit.
Cut palm fronds are laid down between rows of trees to reduce evaporation, protect soil from heavy rains and to let them decompose and nourish the soil.//WHITLOWDELANOJAMES_SIPA.59771/Credit:James Whitlow Delano/SIPA/2411131740
