Tanah Makmur took over the plantation outfit of Kurnia Setia Bhd four years ago. Since taking over in 2010, Tanah Makmur diversified their business from being mainly an upstream plantation player into downstream, and also ventured into property development.
Kurnia Setia was taken private by the Pahang royal family via TAS Group, along with the Pahang Agriculture Development Board (LKPP).
At present, the company has 17,829.9ha of plantation land in Pahang, a palm oil mill with a processing capacity of 30 tonnes per hour of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and a township development on a 607ha parcel near Kuantan via KotaSAS Sdn Bhd.
Tanah Makmur is currently working with the LKPP to secure the land from the Pahang State Government for an estimated cost of RM10mil,” says Tengku Zubir.
Tanah Makmur plans to increase our landbank for oil palm plantations, upgrading mill capacity and continuing to launch more property projects post-listing. Currently, the company is working with the LKPP to secure the land from the Pahang State Government for an estimated cost of RM10mil
