Mills
The Group operates five mills in North Sumatra, East Kalimantan and Bangka in which it processes its crop. In addition, fresh fruit bunches produced at its Musi Rawas and Simpang Kiri estates are processed in local third-party mills. Crop from its 38%-owned Kerasaan Estate, is processed in a neighbouring mill owned by the SIPEF group, the majority owner of the estate. The Group continues to invest in milling capacity and expects to commission a mill at Musi Rawas around the end of 2022. At this point, other than at Simpang Kiri, the Group will be processing all of its own crop.
Our mills are operated to the highest standards and produce very high levels of crude palm oil from the fruit they process. This oil extraction rate is less than 20% for the industry as a whole. We produce on average 23.1%, with levels of above 25% in respect of the Group’s own fruit.

The Group's objective is that all its mills achieve RSPO certification within 18 months of commencing operation. The Group began accreditation for the Pangkatan mill as soon as it took over direct management of this operation in January 2010. The first Kalimantan mill was accredited in 2014; the Bangka mill began the process of accreditation as soon as it was commissioned in May 2016, and received its accreditation in November 2017. All the Group's estates, including the smallholder co-operatives attached to the Group's new projects, are covered by this accreditation.
Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (“ISPO”) certification, mandatory in Indonesia, is similar in most respects to those of the RSPO. Pangkatan Mill was ISPO certified in early 2014 and Bumi Permai Mill in early 2017; the Tengkalat Mill in Bangka was certified in August 2019.
