"palm oil factory"

The Indonesian government finally decided on Thursday to revoke the total palm oil export ban which was imposed on April 28 apparently because the draconian measure caused more damage to the economy.

Police will join forces with Internal Trade Department officials to check palm oil stocks nationwide and prevent hoarding amid the rising prices of cooking oil, a senior police officer said on Wednesday.

Plaipraya District locals from Krabi have called for help after the water in their local canal became increasingly filthy and black, which they said is caused by the discharge of wastewater from a palm oil factory located at the top of the canal.
