FGV Holdings shows improved plantation productivity for the first quarter of 2019
KUALA LUMPUR, 8 APRIL 2019 - FGV Holdings Berhad is pleased to announce its crop production figures for 1Q2019. For the period in review, the Group’s key operational performance indicators that are being tracked on a daily basis, showed improvement, beating internal targets that were benchmarked against the industry, while taking into account site yield potential and the time required to rehabilitate its estates.
The group produced a total of 1.06 million MT of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from its 23 regions, compared to 990,845 MT produced in the same period in 1Q2018, an increase of 6.6%.
The Group’s 68 mills processed a total of 3.67 million MT of FFB up 8.3%, compared to 3.39 million MT processed in 2018. Oil extraction rate (OER) for the three months in review improved to 20.76% from 19.75%, an improvement of 5.1% from the previous corresponding period. FGV produced a total of 761,832 MT of crude palm oil in 1Q2019, compared to 669,534 MT for the same period in 2018. “I am pleased to report that FGV’s Plantation Sector has exceeded internal targets and is on track to achieve its 2019 KPIs,” Dato’ Haris Fadzilah Hassan, FGV’s Group Chief Executive Officer said.
The better operational results can be attributed to several changes that have been made to improve performance, including plantation management and crop evacuation methods.
“As we move into the next phase of implementing our Transformation Plan, we expect FGV’s operational performance to regularize further,” Haris Fadzilah said. He added that all the Group’s replanting efforts were on track and 17,250 ha of old estates would be replanted in this financial year.

"Felda land, especially those plots left unused, can be optimised by planting other agricultural crops to meet domestic demand or for export," she said.
She said the Geographic Information System, a computer system to store, analyse and display geographically referenced information, can be used to analyse Felda's land use.
"Felda already has a complete drainage and irrigation system, so there will be no problems planting substitute crops and carrying out livestock farming
