Golden Agri-Resources, known as GAR, is a Singapore-headquartered agrifood group established in 1996, with extensive oil palm plantation operations in Indonesia. It combines cultivation with processing, logistics and ingredient supply, so its activities run along the whole chain from seeds to finished products. Its integrated operations span plantations, mills, refining, oleochemicals, specialty fats and biodiesel, and the group also takes part in sugar and other crop-based commodities.
In practice, GAR grows oil palm fruit on its managed estates, mills it into crude palm oil and palm kernels, and refines and processes these into cooking oils, margarine, specialty fats, oleochemicals and biodiesel. Food, cosmetics and biofuel manufacturers buy these products in bulk or packaged form, depending on the application. The group's own shipping and logistics capabilities support international deliveries, linking Indonesian production with customers in many markets.
