Plantations are a testament to the beauty and diversity of our world, showcasing the incredible agricultural landscapes that span across continents. From the lush tea gardens in Munnar, Kerala, India to the sprawling cotton plantations in various regions, these vast expanses of cultivated land hold stories of hard work and rich harvests. In Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture, at the foot of majestic Mount Fuji, green tea plantations create a picturesque scene that is both serene and breathtaking. Meanwhile, forestry workers in Dunwich Forest diligently remove felled timber with their forwarder machines, ensuring sustainable practices for future generations. The vibrant fields of Cuba come alive as sugar cane is loaded into trucks under the warm Caribbean sun. Similarly, Mauritius showcases its African charm with sugarcane plants swaying gracefully in the wind. Moving on to New Zealand's Bay of Plenty region near Katikati, kiwi plantation offers a unique sight where ripe kiwis hang from branches fixed to artificial structures resembling vines. This innovative approach ensures optimal growth conditions for this beloved fruit. A visit to BOH Sungai Palas Tea Estate in Cameron Highlands reveals not only stunning vistas but also a charming tea shop nestled amidst verdant tea plantations. Here visitors can savor freshly brewed cups while immersing themselves in nature's tranquility. Traveling back to Ceylon (Sri Lanka), we encounter Great Western Tea Factory where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern techniques. The aroma wafting through this establishment tells tales of expertise passed down through generations. Lastly, Lime Tree Coffee Plantation situated within Jamaica's Blue Mountains captivates coffee enthusiasts with its prized Blue Mountain coffee beans. These carefully nurtured crops produce some of the finest coffees found anywhere in Central America or even beyond. From Asia to Africa and across continents far and wide – each plantation holds its own allure and significance within our global tapestry.
