Our Kalimantan operations are progressing smoothly and looking into the future, we plan to increase our plantation area by about 9,000 hectares per year until 2007 and a further 5,000 hectares per year thereafter.

We will continue with the RM70 million investments to replant, reconstruct a 30-tonne per hour oil mill, restart production and expand the current plantation area to 15,000ha over the next five years.

Given the bright future of our Solomons operations, we are expecting our venture to start contributing income to the group in 2006.
