Antonius Tulus, known as Tulus, has had an interesting journey as an oil palm farmer. Hard work and the courage to take on new challenges have seen him go from being an employee to owning his own oil palm plantation in Indonesia’s Riau province. 

Asian Agri is providing training in catfish farming to a group of its partner independent smallholders in Perlabian Village, North Sumatra, so they will have an alternative source of income before their palm oil plantations enter the replanting period.

Independent smallholders belonging to the Anugerah Jaya Mandiri Sejahtera (AJMS) farmer’s cooperative in Perlabian Village, South Labuhan Batu Regency in North Sumatra, Indonesia, recently carried out their inaugural replanting process on approximately 157 hectares of oil palm plantation which they collectively own.
