Topaz Seeds: Productivity Booster for Sustainable Palm Oil Production
Asian Agri is committed to sustainable farming practices that maximise yields while minimising environmental impact. Our breakthrough oil palm seed innovation, Topaz, offers six benefits to the unique needs of palm oil producers without using additional land:
• Superior adaptability in organic and marginal soils
• High Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) & Oil yields from commencement of production
• Early yielding; less than 30 months after field-planting
• High Oil Extraction Rate (OER)
• Easier fruit harvesting due to slower vertical tree growth
• More resistant to Ganoderma disease
Asian Agri continues to advance oil palm seed innovation, actively enriching genetic resources to produce more Topaz seed varieties, ensuring customised solutions for each need. With up to 200 million seeds sold, we are ready to meet the needs of smallholders and large plantations in Indonesia and the world.
Tested and Proven Performance
Using genetic data from a cross of 223 Deli dura (D) and 50 Costa Rican pisifera (P), Asian Agri tested DxP progeny at three different sites on both mineral and organic soils, covering more than 600 hectares in North Sumatra and Riau. This led to the development of several Topaz seed varieties, including a recent one with peak disease resistance, ensuring high yields across diverse environments.

How Topaz Seeds are Made
The Topaz seeds are developed by a team of over 20 researchers at Asian Agri’s Oil Palm Research Station (OPRS), who combine plant material sourced from around the world to create oil palm seeds that provide superior yields in a variety of environments.
After careful testing and selection, dura and pisifera (DxP) parents were chosen to produce advanced oil palm varieties of the DxP Topaz seed varieties, in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 for quality assurance and ISO 14001 for environmental management. The ISO certifications give OPRS leverage to make sure that their operations are efficient, and that they monitor and always audit internally in line with ideal expectations.
Topaz DxP varieties have been approved and certified by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia for large-scale commercial planting, as stated in documents No. 57, 58, 59, and 60/KPTS/SR.120/1/2004 since January 16, 2004. The Topaz GT variety was released for planting in Ganoderma high-risk areas, according to the Ministry’s Document No. 45/KPTB/B.020/2/2019 on February 1, 2019.
