Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) from our palm oil mills are a valuable resource for our plantations. By returning EFB to the field, we improve soil structure, increase water retention, and support beneficial microbial activity. Rich in organic matter and nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, and trace minerals, EFB helps oil palm grow more healthily and productively. This supports our #AsianAgri2030 commitment to reuse and recycle production residues across plantations. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gfT3JDj8 #AA2030 #SustainablePalmOil

“We remain committed to supporting our partner smallholders to improve their productivity through sustainable oil palm management,” said Rudy Rismanto, Head of Smallholder at Asian Agri, during the Sustainable Palm Oil Premium Distribution event in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Asian Agri awarded IDR 5.5 billion in premiums to scheme smallholders in Riau and Jambi, Indonesia, to support plantation improvements, infrastructure development, and efficiency gains. As Rudy added, “You have seen firsthand how the replanting of your plantations is beginning to yield results, and we hope this can inspire other smallholders to begin their own journey.” Learn more about our Smallholders Partnership, #AsianAgri2030: https://lnkd.in/giqbUjVW

“The improved quality of Topaz material has demonstrated that, on average, Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) and Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production in years 3 to 6 can reach 40.5 tonnes FFB/ha/year and 10 tonnes CPO/ha/year,” said Tan Joon Sheong, Head of R&D Asian Agri, during the Palm Oil International Congress and Exhibition (PIPOC) 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. Topaz high-yielding seeds help boost plantation productivity, supported by responsible and sustainable management.

Innovation is at the heart of how we work at Asian Agri. Our team has introduced the Dump Truck Grabber — a mechanised vehicle equipped with a robotic arm that enhances both efficiency and safety in transferring fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from collection points to transport trucks. Recognised at the 2025 National Kaizen Event, this initiative reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and sustainable productivity across all plantation operations. 🔗 Discover how we’re advancing plantation innovation: https://lnkd.in/g2UHuA-f #AsianAgri #Sustainability #Innovation

Empowering over 1,100 independent smallholders to achieve sustainable palm oil certification marks a powerful step forward for the industry and a proud moment for Asian Agri. Four independent smallholder associations supported by Asian Agri have officially achieved RSPO certification, a milestone celebrated at the RSPO Roundtable in Malaysia. These associations represent smallholder communities from Jambi, North Sumatra, Labuhan Batu, and Riau, recognised for meeting international sustainability standards through the SMILE Programme, a collaboration between Asian Agri, Apical, and Kao Corporation This achievement shows how targeted support can help independent smallholders adopt verified sustainable practices and contribute to a more responsible palm oil supply chain.
