Lonsum builds new CPO plant

JAKARTA (JP): Publicly listed plantation firm PT London
Sumatra Indonesia (Lonsum) has set up a crude palm oil (CPO)
plant in Musi Rawas, South Sumatra, with an initial processing
capacity of 30 tons per hour.

Company director M. Akib said that processing capacity was
expected to increase to 60 tons per hour in the next few years as
the company increased production of oil palm kernel.

The CPO plant, which will be inaugurated by South Sumatra
province Governor H. Rosihan Arsyad later next week, was
developed to support the company's 32-hectare oil palm plantation
in Musi Rawas. (aly)
