Through its subsidiary, PT Menthobi Makmur Lestari (MMAL), MKTR is committed to delivering high-quality palm oil products. This commitment is realized through the implementation of a supply chain that is integrated, reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly, supported by the use of advanced technology in the production process.
An important aspect of maintaining product quality is ensuring that all Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) are traceable to their source, namely the farmers' plantations. Through this tracking system, MKTR ensures transparency and accountability in the raw material procurement process. In practice, MMAL sources FFB from various parties, such as middlemen, cooperatives, and farmer groups around the mill's location.
The company recognizes that FFB suppliers play a strategic role in the business value chain. Therefore, MKTR is committed to building fair and sustainable partnerships with suppliers, which in turn directly supports the economic well-being of local communities in its operational areas.
In general, FFB suppliers are categorized into two main groups:
Scheme suppliers, which include plasma farmers and partnered farmers working under official collaboration agreements.
Independent suppliers, which include independent plantation companies and non-plasma cooperatives.
Through the involvement of local farmers, MKTR provides long-term economic opportunities for surrounding communities. The presence of processing facilities allows the company to consistently purchase harvests from farmers at fair prices, contributing significantly to increased farmer income and poverty reduction in the region.
Moreover, this activity also plays a role in stimulating local economic growth and creating new job opportunities, allowing the benefits to be widely felt by communities around the company’s operational areas.
In terms of compliance and responsibility, MKTR ensures that all Crude Palm Oil (CPO) supplied to the market is sourced legally and produced by farmers and partner companies that operate in accordance with applicable regulations.
As part of its sustainability strategy, MKTR consistently develops and strengthens an integrated supply chain with a distribution system to ensure stable product availability and to make its products accessible to the market at affordable prices.
