Oil palm plantations and mills Our plantations cover 77,000 hectares of oil palm and are based in six locations; West New Britain, Ramu Valley, Milne Bay, Poliamba and Higaturu in Papua New Guinea and the Guadalcanal Province of the Solomon Islands. Around 25% of fruit is supplied by over 15,000 smallholders, and we operate a total of 11 crude palm oil mills, one palm kernel mills and three palm kernel crushers, processing almost two million tonnes of Fresh Fruit Bunch annually. Four of our crude palm mills and our palm kernel mill have achieved certification against the RSPO standard.
