The smallholder schemes are land owned by settlers in accordance with the Group Settlement Act (GSA) 1960. These eleven regional complex smallholder schemes throughout Malaysia are managed by the Federal Land Development Authority, in short FELDA, a government of Malaysia owned agency. (Kindly note, the term smallholders and settlers are used interchangeably and they mean the same) FELDA Segamat Scheme Smallholders (FSSS) commenced its operations in May 1957. It has a total of thirty six schemes under its care and fifteen of which are offered for certification to RSPO. The development of the schemes began with the planting of rubber trees. In August 1957 it began embarking on the plantation of oil palm at FELDA Kemendore. The rest followed in stages and the last planting was in 1977 at FELDA Pemanis 1. The assessed CU comprised of the following oil palm schemes: 1. FELDA Chemplak Barat, 85300 Labis, Johor Darul Takzim 2. FELDA Tenang, 85300 Labis, Johor Darul Takzim 3.
