Description of Project

Client

The Client is a listed company and the plantation arm of Malaysia’s premier government-owned Islamic financial institution. The company manages a large portfolio of oil palm estates and mills across Malaysia and Indonesia, producing Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), Crude Palm Oil (CPO), and Palm Kernel (PK). 

Background

The engagement involved a comprehensive assessment of a large-scale oil palm plantation, covering both mature and unplanted areas, along with its associated mill. The client required an independent, end-to-end evaluation to determine the valuation of the estate and mill for a potential sale, encompassing operational, agronomic, and financial perspectives.

Challenges & Expectations

The client faced fragmented operational data, varying estate conditions, and uncertainties in yield, labour productivity, and input costs. They expected a data-driven valuation that accurately reflects estate and mill performance, incorporates replanting and yield projections, identifies risks, and provides a credible basis for pricing in a potential transaction.
