| Our Vertically Integrated Business Activities In Indonesia Include:
Seedlings: Good quality seeds are crucial for the long-term productivity of our plantations. One of our subsidiaries, PT Dami Mas Sejahtera, produces high yielding seeds originating from Papua New Guinea to support our plantation expansion plan. Plantations: We cultivate oil palm plantations with a total area of approximately 455,800 hectares (including plasma) with an annual fresh fruit bunches yield of 21.8 tonnes per hectare in 2011. Our nucleus plantations comprise 79 percent of total hectarage. Extraction: Our mills extract crude palm oil and palm kernel from the fresh fruit bunches, with a combined capacity of 9,870,000 tonnes per annum. Refining: The crude palm oil is processed in our own refineries, which have a total capacity of 1,380,000 tonnes per annum, producing both value-added and generic refined products. Kernel Crushing: Our kernel crushing plants have a combined capacity of 819,000 tonnes per annum, producing higher value palm kernel oil and palm kernel meal.

Leading edge proprietary IT systems: Our proprietary SAP system, which was 10 years in the making, harnesses technology that puts us in the forefront of precision agriculture. GAR is now fully equipped with a state-of-the-art system, which serves as a one-stop multi-function monitoring and management control system for our entire plantation and downstream operations. With this capability, our operational management has the latest updates at their fingertips.
