I visited Indonesia’s $5.7 Billion Palm Oil industry – Surprising Lessons I Learned [SE E64]

Contrary from west media, muslims countries are very safe.

Actually, corn production in Indonesia is also quite large, but most of it is made into flour because there are no companies here that process corn into oil. In ancient times, before Indonesians recognized palm oil as oil, Indonesians used coconut milk which was cooked until it released oil. However, currently coconut oil production in Indonesia is still small because most coconuts in Indonesia are only made for instant coconut milk. But actually, palm oil in Indonesia is not only made for oil, Palm oil in Indonesia is widely used to mix diesel fuel and cosmetics, Then, palm oil trunks are used as natural fuel in factories and power plants. In fact, there are many uses for palm oil in Indonesia apart from being used for oil.

I like your vlog but seems like too short 😊 ❤❤

welcome back in indonesia

Thanks for another great video. Your approach to travel is spot on with what I believe travel should be. That is smiling and being friendly so you can engage in conversations with the locals. This video along with others have me thinking I need to check out BDR's and see if there are any in Connecticut or near me. The only problem is my bike wouldn't work on a BDR. Peace and Blessings.

The real Kalimantan / Borneo is in the middle of the island, called Heart of Borneo, look at the satellite photo, it is in a very dense forest, namely; Sapat Hawung Nature Reserve, Betung Kerihun National Park, Kayan Mentarang, etc, the area is very big, please visit it, access is definitely very difficult but not impossible, enjoy 🌳👌

Another great video. You have such a good relationship with the locals. You two keep safe.

Great music for the video! You always choose just the right sounds.
Now we all want to go to that little restaurant in the middle of nowhere for the fantastic food.
Dorco is part of the adventure. What will happen next? Will it start, will it stop, will it breakdown...?
The cliffhanger bike.

From adventure to advocacy, this channel is imploding. Just look at the numbers.

The Indonesian government has destroyed so much orangutan habitat for the production of palm oil so the rest of the world can have snacks. Corruption is rampant there. Don't give them any notoriety.

Palm Oil was first brought into Malaysia from Africa in 1917. It then became the crop of choice to alleviate poverty under the FELDA (federal land development authority of Malaysia). This scheme which started in the late 1950s has succeeded in lifting almost 2 million people out of poverty.

Malaysia then created Palm Oil Research Institute in 1979 to diversify the use of palm oil. Palm oil has now become the most sought after "fats" used in just about everything.

As commodity of choice, many Malaysians companies started growing Palm Oil, became rich and expanded to neighbouring Indonesia.

Cách kể chuyện của bạn khiến cho chuyến đi trở nên thật hào hứng, không chỉ riêng video này mà tất cả tập phim khác đều mang phong cách dẫn dắt rất đặc biệt (tôi có cảm giác đang xem một cuốn hồi ký du lịch vậy). Cảm ơn vì phụ đề tiếng Việt

That kind of restaurant is called Minang restaurant or Padang restaurant. Padang is the region in west sumatera where the cuisine is originated. Minang is the name of the tribe. You can find minang/padang restaurant almost anywhere in Indonesia. So next time you want that sauce, just visit the nearest padang restaurant.

And welcome back to Indonesia. While you're at it why don't you go to Sumatera? Sumatera is a little more developed than kalimantan but not as crowded as java.

Indonesia's nature is under threat from palm oil...😭😭😭 Our flora and fauna are threatened because of companies taking over our traditional lands...
Tell the world that palm oil companies are destroying Indonesia's natural forests... And Indonesia's forests belong to indigenous communities or what we call Customary Forests.Thank You

Most of the Oil Palm Plantation in Indonesia owned by Malaysian and Singaporen Company..

a travelling video? 🤔 it's more that. it's a documentary about life. 👍🙏

Go to Sumatra, there are more oil palm trees compared to Kalimantan. What's more, the entire province of Riau is full of oil palm trees wherever you go, and Riau is the largest palm oil producer in Indonesia, Kalimantan is nothing in comparison. with the island of Sumatra, especially in the province of Riau

terimakasih sudah berkunjung ke indonesia ke hutan kelapa sawit, anda bisa melihat sendiri kalo kami tidak sejahat yang orang eropa pikirkan dengan membuka kebun kelapa sawit, kebun kelapa sawit adalah hutan produksi, kita tidak menggunduli hutan, semua tetap masih hijau., tolong kasih paham ke orang orang di eropa biar tidak memboikot indonesia dan malaysia soal minyak kelapa sawit ini🙏🙏

Welcome back 🙌🏻

Great video guys, where you guys from ?

Semoga suatu saat anda bisa menjelajahi lintas Sulawesi

After 11 hours on the bike, it is strange to walk😂😂😂

New subscriber from Central Java, thank you for being a guest in our beloved country, may you enjoy and be successful in your journey. If you have time, try watching or joining the motorcycle vlogger on Kristian Hansen's channel from Denmark who is currently on a project touring Indonesia on his motorcycle which has successfully attracted the attention of the Minister of Tourism, Mr. Sandiaga Uno and invited him to the IKN in Kalimantan,
Don't be afraid or worried, Indonesians will be happy to help guests as long as you are polite and respect local culture.
