PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – PalmCo’s Director, Jatmiko K. Santosa, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing the well-being of smallholders by actively involving them on par with larger enterprises, such as PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN).
Speaking at an event attended by Palmoilmagazine.com in Jakarta, he stated, “We aim to prevent smallholders from becoming marginalized parties.”
To demonstrate tangible support for smallholders, PalmCo is implementing a pilot project in three red palm oil mills in collaboration with their union. This initiative aligns with the company’s dedication to elevating quality and awareness, ensuring fair competition in the local markets.

Jatmiko K. Santosa also emphasized that the company as an enterprise, would always reinforce its strategic roles by delivering real impacts for the nation. “In this case, the smallholders should get the advantages,” he said.
In the future, PalmCo through its good cooperation with Rumah Sawit Indonesia (RSI) and the commitment to conduct smallholder replanting programs, would bridge divisions between the company and smallholders. Then palm oil industries would face future challenges that would be tougher and more sustainable. (T2)
