Stakeholder Extensions Service

With 90% of our FFB volume coming from smallholders, it is paramount that we work together and support our local farmers and maximise their production. Univanich has the benefit of being vertically integrated, from seed production to estate management and factory processing. This provides the opportunity for a supportive extension service for knowledge sharing and technical advice on growing oil palm.

Through coordination with the District Agriculture Department, Univanich are regularly invited to participate in oil palm field days. These events are held across all districts and are designed to educate farmers on the following:

General knowledge of oil palm farming
Planting techniques and the importance of selecting the correct planting material.
Oil Palm Seedling handling.
Upkeep practices.
Pest and Disease Control.
Fertiliser Application.
Replanting methods.
Basic Budgeting.
Sustainable production of oil palm and benefits of becoming RSPO certified.

In addition to Field Days and Customer visits, Univanich also runs a very active Facebook page with regular updates and this is a good method of reaching out to smallholders for advice and support.

Community Support

Univanich Palm Oil Public Company appreciates and understands the importance of its stakeholders within the community. Being a large footprint in the community in terms of employment and support to smallholder farmers, Univanich likes to support community development.

Each year Univanich donates towards community programs, primarily in areas of Health and Education.
