Business Case
20,000 ha. Closed loop.
Equipment and materials turn mill residue into fertilizer cost relief.
20,000 haEstate under model
Illustrative Base Case
79.2k t/yearAnnual EFB captured
Illustrative Base Case
US$6.0MGross fertilizer procurement relief
Modelled Estimate
US$3.2-4.6MNet operating uplift
Modelled Estimate
Feedstock Reality
Feedstock already moves.
FFB harvest creates the EFB stream. The case starts by metering it, not buying a new feedstock.
Commercial Logic
Buy less mineral fertilizer.
Each batch turns a disposal burden into controlled soil-return material with procurement records attached.
FFB processed
EFB recovered
Fertilizer produced
Field cost reduced

Mill-side equipmentInstalled beside existing palm-oil operations.
Field returnOrganic mass returns to palm roots with batch records.
Transaction Structure
More than machines.
EquipmentReceiving, size control, dosing, bagging and maturation modules.
MaterialsConditioners, microbial system and formulation inputs for each batch.
Operating SupportCommissioning, SOPs, operator training and quality release rules.
EvidenceBatch records, field return logs and procurement comparison.
Source Discipline
Numbers stay labelled.
Commercial upside is shown as a model until local quotes, field protocol and product registration are reviewed.
EFB availabilityPublished Indonesia mill research reports EFB at about 23%-28% of fresh fruit processed.Yield benchmarkIndonesian national FFB yield around 17 t/ha/year supports the 18 t/ha/year base case.Fertilizer exposureOil palm fertilization is commonly reported as 40%-60% of maintenance cost.Price pressureWorld Bank noted fertilizer price pressure and urea volatility in 2026.
