# Kencana Agri Ltd: Pioneering Sustainable Palm Oil Operations in Indonesia
Since its landmark public listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on July 25, 2008, Kencana Agri Limited has established itself as a significant player in the Indonesian plantation sector. With a history tracing back to its inception in 1996, the Group has cultivated an extensive operational footprint, focusing on the end-to-end cultivation and processing of high-quality palm oil products.
## Strategic Operational Scope and Capacity
Kencana Agri manages a vast land bank covering approximately 166,000 hectares across Indonesia's primary agricultural hubs in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. As of 2020, the company’s total planted area—including smallholder plasma schemes—reached 68,150 hectares.
The company is vertically integrated, transforming Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) into high-value commodities, including:
* Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
* Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO)
* Palm Kernel Cake (PKC)
* Palm Kernels (PK)
To support these operations, Kencana Agri utilizes a robust infrastructure featuring six palm oil mills with a combined processing capacity of 305 tons per hour, alongside two kernel crushing plants capable of processing 435 tons per day. Because much of the company's current palm plantation profile consists of younger trees, the Group is strategically positioned for significant production growth as these stands reach peak maturity.
## Commitment to Sustainability and Best Practices
Kencana Agri operates under a core philosophy of ecological and social responsibility. By strictly adhering to "zero-burning" and "zero-waste" management protocols, the company minimizes its environmental impact. Furthermore, the organization is actively engaged in aligning its agricultural practices with the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification standards, reflecting a commitment to national regulatory compliance and global sustainability benchmarks.
