Feronia PHC holds concessions of 107,892 hectares on which 17,854 hectares are planted with immature or producing oil palms. Having completed a 1,000 hectare re-planting programme in 2010 and 2,000 hectares in 2011, the Company will continue its re-planting programme in 2012 and onwards. By re-planting previously planted and producing areas, the Company is able to grow its productive areas at far lower costs than greenfields plantings and faces no deforestation issues.
