Wilmar engages in oil palm cultivation and milling, and is one of the largest oil palm plantation owners in Indonesia and Malaysia. Our oil palm plantations are strategically located in the various regions of Malaysia and Indonesia where the climatic conditions are suitable for planting oil palms. 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. In addition, the Group also owns oil palm plantations in Ghana and through joint ventures, owns plantations in Uganda and West Africa. As at 31 December 2014, Wilmar had approximately 238,287 hectares (ha) of planted area of which about 70% is located in Indonesia, 24% in East Malaysia and 6% in Africa. In addition to holding land rights to plantation land, we manage approximately 31,666 ha of oil palm plantation under the Plasma Scheme in Indonesia as at 31 December 2014. The Plasma Programme is an initiative designed for the development of oil palm plantations for smallholders by a developer of plantations. We are committed to purchasing all the fruits produced by the small landholders’ plantations.
