Case Summary
Main Issue
Problem Statement
Analysis
Recommendation
History
Year Activities
1979 Sukanto founded ASIAN AGRI; 10,000 ha
1984 Built a mill for extraction CPO and plam kernels
1986 Asian Agri began participating integrating
smallholder former plasma program
1989 Asian Agri expansion 30,000 ha
1989 – 1999 Expanded its growing
R&D, husbandry practices, fertilizer inputs for
different types of soil, higher-yield, pest and
disease controls, upgraded its refining capacity,
built a plant for production of margarine and
shortening.
2010
(at the time case
was written)
Plantation and Mills, Refining and Exporting,
Customer and Markets.
Holding Group of Asian Agri:
RGE (Royal Golden Eagle)
1. APICAL: Asia Pacific Resources International
Limited
2. Sateri International 0
3. Pacific Oil & Gas
ASIAN AGRI TRIED TO ENTER CONSUMER MARKET TO GROW THEIR
BUSINESS TROUGH APICAL ONE OF THEIR HOLDING GROUP.
Asian Agri Challenges in Up Stream market:
1. Sustanaibility of Resource
2. Plantation Expansion
3. Enter the Consumer Market or Focus on
Business Market?
NGO Critics to CPO company:
◦ Allegedly forest biodiversity/endangered species
◦ Deforestration, high leve of carbon
◦ Conflict indigenous population and grower
Result Pressure on Actual Business:
 CPE companies had stopped sourcing palm oil
accused of environtmental mismanagement
 Calling on bank and investment fund
Ernomous challenges on Plantation Expansion:
 Two years freeze on new land concession in May
2010, limited land
 Country Risk
 Poverty
 Infrastructure was poor
 Controversial land-right disputes between grower
and indigenous population
 Complex govenment concession process
 Opposition from NGO
Asian Agri had started enter the consumer market trough their
holding company APICAL.
Downstream market will give them several benefits:
 Force the company to mature
 Customer and process management
 Capture more value  utilize all part of oil
But...
Is it worth to be focussed on consumer market while Asian Agri
had upstream competitive advantages?
 Should Asian Agri aggresively expand the
plantation despite all the challenges on land
expansion? And make their upstream
business STRONGER?
 Should Asian Agri put more effort on their
downstream business?
Asian Agri had already started to apply below
strategy:
 Leverage its foothold, expanding 160,000 into
300,000 ha by 2015.
 Enhance its upstream competitive advantage
 But would bring many practical challenges.
 Develop more trading and refining operation or
market a portfolio of branded products
 Transfer Asian Agri’s plantation assets to its sister
business, APRIL, a highly succesful pulp and paper
operator.
 Give best effort both to upstream and
downstream business as their capital also
strong.
 The strategy is on the right track, in term of
expanding branded product they should
create more serious plan.
 Continous improvement on resource
sustainability. It improved the company
profile and assured the company
sustainability.
Thank You....
