Bumitama Gunajaya Agro’s Sungai Bahaur Estate recorded palm oil yields well above its targets after replanting marginal land in Central Kalimantan, highlighting the role of agronomy and conservation in improving long-term plantation productivity.
PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA — A palm oil replanting program at Sungai Bahaur Estate (SBHE), part of Regional 4 of Bumitama Gunajaya Agro (BGA Group), has demonstrated that marginal land can deliver high productivity when managed with consistent agronomic practices and long-term planning.
By 2026, the replanting program had covered thousands of hectares, including dozens of blocks replanted during the year across several divisions.
Through partnerships with cooperatives, community plasma plantations have also been included in the replanting program, with some areas receiving support through the government’s Smallholder Palm Oil Replanting Program (PSR).
The approach is designed to strengthen cooperation between the company and smallholders while improving plantation productivity and supporting local livelihoods.
