Uneven rainfall and a dry season resulted in a severe water deficit, leading to decreased yields. – REUTERSPICDecember 1984, I was on the small Cessna plane that had left Kinshasa to fly about a thousand kilometres up the Congo River to an airfield at a plantation called Yaligimba.
Among the purchases were butter, cheese, marmalade and jam for John, and cartons of cigarettes to last until the next planned trip to Kinshasa. Finally, the United Nations was called in and that was how our Malaysian troops arrived by ship from Port Klang together with young officers who were my schoolmates at Royal Military College.
Over time, the plantations expanded to allow work at the Yangambi research centre. The team discovered in the 1950s that they could get more oil by using the dura palm and crossing it with the pisifera palm to get the seeds called tenera. The work helped to add precision to sterilising the fruit with steam pressure, followed by extracting oil in the new press to raise the oil recovery rate and with an improvement in oil quality.
