Asian Agri kicked off the oil palm replanting programme with smallholders and government officials in a replanting ceremony on 20 April 2016.
135 members of the Mulus Rahayu Cooperative for smallholders had the honours of being the first palm oil smallholders in the country to receive replanting funds from the Indonesia Government.
This was especially significant as Asian Agri is the corporate partner to these Plasma smallholders, having also guided them to achieving certification from RSPO and ISCC.
The Indonesia Palm Oil Estate Fund Agency (BPDPKS) disbursed replanting funds totaling IDR 6.75 billion (USD 510,000) on behalf of the government to the smallholders.
