Nurturing growth responsibly, so you can thrive sustainably
Plantation
Indonesia’s forest, paper, and packaging sector continues to expand, anchored by approximately 120 million hectares of forest estate that support industrial plantations and major pulp and paper production. As demand for sustainable and recyclable materials grows, paper‑based packaging is gaining momentum across key industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and e‑commerce, strengthening the sector’s role in the national plantation ecosystem.
