Astra Agro Lestari Tbk (AALI) has announced its objective to enhance its oil palm replanting program to 8,000 hectares annually over the forthcoming years.
By the year 2024, the company anticipates having replanted a total of 5,052 hectares, reflecting a 7.2 percent increase from the 4,713 hectares replanted in 2023.
The President Director of AALI, Djap Tet Fa, reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to intensifying the replanting initiative starting this year. He noted that the company is currently in its 37th year of operation and that a significant portion of its oil palm plantations has reached an advanced age, with an average plant life cycle of approximately 25 years.
“This signifies that we are entering the second growth cycle. Within this cycle, our objective is to enhance plant productivity through the replanting program,” Tetfa stated during a public exposure held at Menara Astra, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Central Jakarta, on Monday, April 28, 2025.
Tetfa further emphasized that AALI aims to escalate the replanting area from the recent range of 4,000 to 5,000 hectares per year to a target of 8,000 hectares per year in the future. He expressed optimism that this initiative will result in increased palm oil production in the coming years.
In addition, AALI Director Tingning Sukowignjo specified that the replanting target for the current year is set at approximately 5,000 hectares. “Analyzing the trend from 2020 to 2024, we expect our replanting efforts to fall within the range of 4,000 to 6,000 hectares. Therefore, our target for this year stands at around 5,000 hectares,” she explained, as reported by tribunnews.
