Trade Talk: Palm Oil Fuels Animal Feed, People Food Firm Operated By Bhatt Family
12/02/2015 (Vancouver Sun) - The palms in his native Malaysia produce 10 times the oil of other vegetable sources, 50-year-old Haresh Bhatt said in the Port Coquitlam office of Natu’oil Services Inc. and the other international firms he heads or in which he has senior positions. He ought to know. The University of Iowa computer science graduate once managed a 60,700-hectare Malaysian palm plantation, as well as being a broker, refiner, trader and packer in that industry. Making a clean break, literally, Bhatt, wife Hema and daughters Dharinee and Nikhita came to Canada in 2003 and began importing palm-based Rioilsandsoaps for sale to dollar stores.
