palm plantation
Tropical tree farm
A palm plantation is a large-scale agricultural operation where palm trees are cultivated commercially, typically for palm oil production from oil palms.
These plantations, concentrated in tropical regions like Indonesia and Malaysia, have expanded dramatically and drawn criticism for rainforest destruction and habitat loss: The palm plantation replaced thousands of acres of jungle.
