Palm Estates and Smallholders

The capability to establish and manage agro‑industrial plantations is deeply rooted in HVA's history. Its experience record dates back to the 1920's, when the company started its large plantations of oil palm, coconut, rubber, tea, sugar cane and sisal in Indonesia.

During the last two decades, HVA has become increasingly involved in projects related with vegetable oils in various countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, thus gaining vast experience in this field through the application of up‑to‑date know how and technology.

Some of these projects are highlighted below.

Oil Palm Estates

From 1983 to 1992, a team of HVA experts has provided technical assistance to AGROINRA in Nicaragua for the establishment of two oil palm cooperatives at "Cukra Hill" and "El Castillo", comprising 2,500 ha oil palm each.

Since 1986 HVA experts have been engaged in an oil palm research project at the DENPASA estate near Belém in Brazil to trace the agent of the spear-rot disease and to try to control this disease, endemic in Central and South America. Identical research was carried out for a regional oil palm project in Ecuador for account of the Ministry of Agriculture of Ecuador.

From 1969 to 1985, HVA was co-owner and managing agent of the Victoria oil palm estate (1,650 ha) in Surinam. The company was also entrusted with the implementation and management of the Phedra Oil Palm Project (875 ha) and a smallholders scheme (200 ha), located adjacent to the Victoria estate. The outgrowers project not only covered land clearing and plantation, but also included the full organizational set‑up, including infrastructure and credit schemes.

From 1973 to 1984, HVA was co-owner and managing agent of the DENPASA (Dendê do Pará SA) oil palm plantation in Benevidos, Pará State, Brazil. The project consisted of implementation and management of an oil palm complex with an own area of 5,100 ha and an outgrowers' area of approximately 2,500 ha. Actual production in this stage amounted to 20,000 tonnes of palm‑oil, processed by two factories. During the entire period, three HVA-experts were permanently stationed at the estate.

In 1974, the Government of Surinam called on HVA to conduct a feasibility study for an oil palm project in East Surinam resulting in a recommendation for a 30 tonnes FFB/hr milling plant with a 5,000 ha plantation. Project implementation started in 1979 and HVA was invited to implement and manage this project and provide the necessary agricultural and technical services.
