TEMBILAHAN, - From the northern tip of Pulau Burung District to the southern tip of Reteh District, coconut plantations are a common sight in Indragiri Hilir Regency.
With 400,000 hectares of coconut plantations, Indragiri Hilir truly deserves the nickname "The Land of the World's Coconut Grove."
In this village, less than an hour from Tembilahan City, the capital of Indragiri Hilir Regency, lush, green coconut plantations stretch out.
Coconut farmers harvest their produce in Inhil, Riau.
It's no surprise, then, that this village was chosen as the location for a field trip at the International Coconut Festival in September 2017.
In this now internationally renowned location, we can witness the traditional life of the Indragiri Hilir coconut farming community.
Coconuts drifting in small ditches after being harvested around a coconut plantation in Inhil, Riau.
Not only that, we can even experience and directly observe the coconut harvesting process, from which the coconuts are processed into copra suitable for international sale, a product not easily found anywhere else in the world. The sweat you may have expended participating in this entire process will surely be rewarded with the sweetness of fresh coconuts there.
Hmmm… this is the Beautiful Indragiri Hilir, the Land of the World's Coconuts.
