PT Chora Agro Resources

PT. Chora Agro Resources (CAR) is an Indonesian palm oil plantation company established in 2007. The word Chora refers to a field that is ready to be harvested, and this word is chosen as part of our company name to show our aim of managing the plantation in a professional manner in order to receive the harvest. Chora means "a Field Ready to Harves... t" and creating just that our aim. Our plantation is located in the Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan, with a total landbank of approximately 14,000 hectares. Our primary business activities are cultivating, developing, and harvesting Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) as well as the extraction of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). To support our plantation, we are currently building a palm oil mill with a working capacity of 30 tons per hour in Kabile, within the Sambas Regency. In the following year, we will be building a smaller palm oil mill in Selakau, also located within the Sambas Regency in order to support our plantation in the Selakau area. Since starting our initial operation in 2009, our goal has been to set up a palm oil plantation, complete with a palm oil mill, which will be managed in a professional manner. In approximately 5 years of operation, today Chora employs more than 1,500 people both in its head office in Jakarta and its plantation in West Kalimantan. Despite our young age and small size, the company is growing steadily toward its goal, thanks to the support rendered by our loyal employees who work hard hand in hand to form a solid team and to strive for achieving our goal. Today PT. Chora Agro Resources manages about 14,000 hectares of land, with a planted area of 7,000 hectares, and approximately 1,700 hectares to be planted in 2015. We have started harvesting and our first mill in Kabile, Sambas, is targeted to begin operating in the middle of 2015. We will continue to grow by adding new prospective areas to our existing planted area.Read More
