What are the risks of sicknesses and fire?
Agro-products are products of nature, so there is always a risk of sickness and fire. Oil palm trees in particular are susceptible to too much water. This is a matter of managing the plantations well by depleting the water via canals. Teak trees are very strong and the biggest danger here is fire (because of the dry period). However, teak trees of 4 years age or more are known for withstanding fires very well. One should keep in mind that the native environment of a tree or plant is always the best environment, eg. a teak tree, coming from Northern India, is used to at least 6 months drought per year.
