Indonesian Plantations



The feasibility and profitability of developing oil palm plantations in Indonesia has been enhanced, due to the factors such as the availability of an extensive land bank, a conducive environment, skilled labour force and incentives from the government

The Indonesian plantation project PT Agro Indomas was a pioneering effort by the Company undertaken in 1996 and is equipped with an oil processing mill, the capacity of which was doubled to 180 MT/hr recently. The sector has recently embarked on a new plantation project 20,000 ha in extent, also based in Central Kalimantan, through Bukit Darah PLC

Our expansion programme aims to leverage on the learning experiences and competencies we have acquired in successfully developing oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Expansion in planted extents will enable the sector to derive economies of scale  and to sustain the low cost structures required for long term sustainability and to be a recognized plantation group in the region.

Our key strategies in the plantation sector include:

	Adopting best practices in agronomy and plantation management to improve productivity and operational efficiency.
	Managing cost structures effectively to remain profitable in the commodity business.
	Investment in downstream industries to add value to the operations.
	Working with JV partners to jointly develop plantations and invest in downstream industries.
	Adopting best management practices required for sustainable plantation development, balancing responsibility to the community with concern for the environment.
	Meeting the quality standards and accreditations required in the global food industry.
