• South Sumatra Landbank

We are also planting areas of our landbanks of 12,800 hectares in Empat Lawang, South Sumatra. This landbank is operated by our subsidiary GSB and commenced planting parts of the landbank in 2013.  

Our development plantations are managed in compliance with RSPO and ISPO standards and we will apply for RSPO and ISPO certification when they started producing crude palm oil. 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a total landbank of 154,650 hectares. At that time, approximately one-third of this area or 53,521 hectares, was planted. Pursuant to the Indonesian Government’s regulation, the Company has allocated a total of 5,005 hectares of this planted area to community smallholders as of the end of 2023. 

Mature nucleus oil palms cover 43,400 hectares or 89.5%, of the planted area, while 5,116 hectares or 10.5%, comprises immature oil palms. The average age of our nucleus oil palms across all the Group's plantations, as of December 31, 2023, was 13.0 years. 

56.4% of our landbank is allocated for fulfilling a range of voluntary environmental and social commitments, which encompasses biodiversity conservation, riverine buffers, and the protection of areas with historical or cultural significance. As stated in our Sustainability Policy, ANJ has made a commitment to maintain areas of forest with High Conservation Value (HCV) and/or High Carbon Stock  (HCS) and to refrain from developing peat or wetlands. 

Our landbank also covers 12,800 hectares land in South Sumatra which is ready to be planted when the land compensation process is completed. As of 31 December 2023, total land compensated was 4,555 hectares, of which 724 hectares have planted and contains matured oil palms.

The remaining portion of our landbank is designated for infrastructure needs, including roads, housing, and amenities for our employees, while a smaller fraction of this land is deemed unplantable due to unsuitable topography.
