Indonesia's Perkebunan Nusantara reports farm fruit absorption and revenue growth
State-owned plantation subsidiary PTPN IV PalmCo announced that, by May 2026, it had absorbed 1.34 million tons of fresh fruit bunches (TBS) from smallholder oil‑palm farms, up from 1.30 million tons a year earlier. The company said the increase supports farmer incomes, stabilises market supply and is backed by education and replanting programmes that have reached over 6,380 ha of farmland.
Meanwhile, PTPN III projected a 40 percent rise in 2026 revenue to Rp73.6 trillion, with gross profit expected to reach Rp23.0 trillion. Net profit is forecast at roughly Rp5.9 trillion, a slight decline from the previous year, while the firm aims to cut its debt‑to‑EBITDA ratio to 2.79 times. Both subsidiaries highlighted their roles in sustaining Indonesia’s palm‑oil sector and improving farmer livelihoods.
