Poor Roads Hamper Productivity

This is my 1st article published in The Planter (Vol 65, No. 763, October 1989) It was written after I was transferred to Morisem Estate, Sabah, in December 1988. Such bitter experiences of crop losses due to poor roads often damaged by rainy weather about 20 years ago, sad to say, are currently being repeated in many plantations in Indonesia. Hope other planters can comment and share their experiences too.
