Kulim to expand land-bank


PETALING JAYA: Kulim (M) Bhd says its re-entry into Indonesia last October is expected to expand its oil palm land-bank by some 40,000ha in central Kalimantan and also accelerate its new planting programme.

Kulim chairman Datuk Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim said that the target planting for 2014 was 500ha. The first 500ha of land clearing for a new planting programme, along with the setting up of an 80ha oil palm nursery, will commence in the third quarter of this year.
