The deployment of the first light-on-its-feet, fast & nimble oil palm harvesting system is on-going in Central Kalimantan.
All solutions are developed with the collaboration of South East Asia main planters, a renowned international agronomy research institute and the top traceability software house, IoT technologist & microchip maker.

With full traceability of every bunch from tree2mill, deforestation will progressively become a thing of the past!
