Although products of the oil palm are now a major source of Malaysia's foreign exchange earnings, the palm was not cultivated commercially in Malaya until 1917 by Henri Fauconnier, who is better known as the author of one of the best known novels about the country, The Soul of Malaya.
This book, originally compiled by three agriculturalists, was therefore probably one of the first attempts at producing a planting manual distilling the experience of what was then a little more than ten years of growing the plant in the country.
