Stakeholder extension services

With 90% of FFB volume sourced from smallholders, we work closely with local farmers to strengthen productivity and quality. Univanich is vertically integrated from seed production and estate management to factory processing, enabling practical extension services for knowledge sharing and technical advice.

In coordination with District Agriculture Departments, Univanich regularly joins field days across districts to educate farmers on:

  1. General knowledge of oil palm farming
  2. Planting techniques and selecting the correct planting material
  3. Oil palm seedling handling
  4. Upkeep practices
  5. Pest and disease control
  6. Fertiliser application
  7. Replanting methods
  8. Basic budgeting
  9. Sustainable production and RSPO certification benefits

In addition to field days and customer visits, Univanich maintains active online communication channels to keep smallholders connected with practical advice and support.
