Wilmar is one of the world’s largest oil palm plantation owners with a total planted area of 232,053 hectares (ha) as at 31 December 2020, of which about 65% is in Indonesia, 26% in East Malaysia and 9% in Africa. In Indonesia, our plantations are located in Sumatra, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan (southern region) while in Malaysia, they are located in the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
Through joint ventures, we own plantations in Uganda and West Africa of about 46,000 ha. We also directly manage 35,276 ha under smallholder schemes in Indonesia and Africa and 157,515 ha under smallholders schemes through associates in Africa. We are committed to purchasing all the fruits produced by the small landholders’ plantations.
We have a strong team of managers and staff who are devoted to the common objective of achieving the highest standards for our plantations. We adopt best management practices including good field and harvesting standards and timely application of fertilisers to optimise crop yields.
Apart from plantations, Wilmar also owns palm oil mills to process fruits from our own and surrounding plantations. The key products of oil palm cultivation and milling are crude palm oil and palm kernel.
