With operations worldwide, FGV produces oil palm and rubber products, oleochemicals and sugar products, with materials sourced from FELDA colonies throughout the country.
Background
Its initial public offering in 2012 was the third largest in the world that year after Facebook and biggest IPO in Asia which raised US$3.1 billion.
It is the third largest palm oil company in the world by planted acreage. FGV manages a total land bank of 439,230 hectares in Malaysia and Indonesia including land under Land Lease Agreement (LLA) with Felda. The company produces approximately 3 million metric tonnes of crude palm oil annually.
