Tanah Makmur was primarily an oil palm plantation company before it expanded to include palm oil milling, property development and the ancillary business of mining for bauxite. The company is currently operating in Pahang only. All its oil palm plantation estates and its township development – KotaSAS – are located in Pahang. Historically, all of its plantation business was held by Kurnia Setia Bhd, a company that was previously listed by LKPP on the Malaysia Stock Exchange on 1 Dec 1984. In 2009, Tanah Makmur offered to acquire the entire business and undertakings – including all assets and liabilities – of Kurnia Setia, which resulted in the privatisation of the latter. This exercise was completed in 2010 and Kurnia Setia was officially delisted on 21 Dec of that year.

Tanah Makmur currently operates 13 plantation estates in Pahang with an aggregate plantation land acreage of 17,969ha. Of this, 65% is self- owned and the remaining 35% is leased from LKPP, a Pahang State Government body that holds a 20% stake in the company. In FY13, Tanah Makmur’s estates produced about 232,605 tonnes of FFB. These were sold to the company’s own palm oil mill (49.2% of the total produced, which were supplied by seven of its estates), third-party traders and other millers. Tanah Makmur believes that by having its own mill, higher oil extraction rate (OER) is achievable due to better control of the milling process. Easy access to the mill and its strategic location helps ensure timely delivery of the FFB, which, in turn, allows for quick processing post harvesting. Tanah Makmur ventured into downstream activities with the production of CPO, palm kernel (PK) and compost fertiliser in July 2012. Property development. Tanah Makmur ventured into the property development business in 2008. This was undertaken in order to maximise the potential value of its land via the commencement of its maiden township development called KotaSAS in Kuantan, Pahang. The project is being developed on part of the company’s Ladang Bukit Goh estate and measures approximately 1,500 acres. KotaSAS’ development is slated to span over the next 15 years. Ancillary to this business, Tanah Makmur has also commenced mining bauxite after obtaining the necessary licenses. This business came about when it discovered bauxite deposits while clearing land for its property development initiative. The mining will be undertaken for a 3-year period, subject to renewal of the necessary licenses.
