Business Principles
Growing Together Since 1968
Pioneering Sustainable Agriculture Through Innovation and Community
Founded on a pioneering vision in 1968, Univanich has grown from Thailand’s first oil palm initiative into a leading force in sustainable agribusiness, driven by innovation, resilience, and strong community partnerships. From supporting small farmers with accessible opportunities to advancing cutting-edge agricultural technologies, the company has consistently focused on shared prosperity and long-term impact. Today, Univanich continues to expand its legacy both locally and internationally, remaining committed to sustainable practices, economic growth, and improving the livelihoods of the communities it serves.

Products
The Univanich Oil Palm Research Centre in southern Thailand is internationally recognized for an advanced breeding programme supplying high-yielding seeds and seedlings for local farmers and for export to sustainable oil palm growers around the world.
Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
Crude palm oil (CPO) is a thick, cloudy orange oil product that is extracted from the mechanical squeezing of fresh palm fruits. At Univanich, we strictly control all steps of production leading to the extraction of CPO, meeting international standards.
Seed Sales
The Univanich Collection of Deli dura and Yangambi pisifera has lineages which can be traced back through many generations of oil palm selection.
Sustainability
When the first oil palms were planted back in 1969 Thailand was regarded as an unpromising region for this new crop. Fruit yields were limited by a severe annual dry season and there were few large areas of land available for commercial oil palm plantations.
