Palm Plantations of Malaysia

Malaysia the second largest producer of palm oil in the world and the world's second largest exporter of palm oil. More than 60 percent of the palm oil is exported. The Malaysian economy is heavily dependent on the palm oil production. 

These photos were shot through the double glass window of an airplane.

Here you can see how widespread the palm plantations are. Almost every available land space is taken up by the palm trees.

The palm plantations are everywhere, stretching from end to end.

Another look into the distance, a binocular view.  The palm plantations are enclosed in a circle against a black background.
