PT Sampoerna Agro Tbk. (or the “Company”) is a diversified plantation company currently engaged in the production of Germinated Oil Palm Seed, Crude Palm Oil and Palm Kernel, Slab Rubber and Sago.
The oil palm plantation segment, which produces the Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) from which Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel (PK) is milled, constitutes the Company’s largest business line to date, encompassing oil palm estates (nucleus and plasma) across more than 100,000 hectares in South Sumatera, Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan.
The palm seed segment is one of the Company’s fastest growing business segments, which includes nursery and agronomic R&D facilities spread over 540 hectares of Seed Garden in South Sumatra. Advanced seed-germination and R&D capabilities greatly increase the competitiveness of a plantation via superior seeds which raise plant survivability, produce greater yields, and other desired qualities to enhance long-term productivity and operational efficiencies. Our seed and R&D activities are undertaken by PT Binasawit Makmur, which since 1994 has evolved to become a broad-based agronomic R&D center and currently one of the leading producers of oil palm seeds in Indonesia under the brand name DxP Sriwijaya. Currently, there are six varieties of DxP Sriwijaya with diverse genetic origins derived from 225 set of dura families and 50 pisifera families. Since 2008, all six varieties are protected under the Plant Variety Copyright Protection issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. A highly competent R&D team and a dedicated sales team, backed-up by after-sales service help increase the quality of our customers’ plantations.
The rubber plantation segment comprises 183 hectares of mature rubber estates located in South Sumatra while the sago plantation segment is the Company’s latest undertaking, having recently acquired more than 21,000 hectares of concession in the Riau Province of Sumatra, of which some 4,000 hectares of sago palms are ready for harvesting. The sago plant has the highest carbohydrate content among its substitute plants anywhere in the world.
The Company’s long-term goal is to become a sustainable integrated and diversified plantation group . This long-term goal is to be achieved through a business strategy that places a strong emphasis on scientific research and development initiatives, sustainable best-practices that engages the local communities and addresses major environmental issues, as well as a strong focus on human resources development and knowledge management. The Company is an active member of the RSPO and is also actively engaged in various associations and working groups towards development of sustainable agro-industrial business practices.
