Samasindo Optimistic About Achieving High Production Capacity in 2025

Strong Domestic Demand Supports Production

PT Sawit Mas Indonesia (Samasindo), a major player in the Indonesian palm oil industry, is optimistic about achieving 75-80% of its production capacity in 2025. The company's crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) production facilities began commercial operations in early September 2025. Despite recent seasonal challenges, Samasindo remains confident in its production targets.

Domestic Market Absorption

Samasindo's entire CPO production is being absorbed by the domestic market, driven by strong demand from cooking oil producers. The company's director, Cheny Canliarta, stated that the high domestic demand has been a key factor in the company's production outlook. This strong domestic absorption is characteristic of Indonesia's palm oil industry, where internal demand for cooking oil remains robust.

Production Outlook and Challenges

While the company faces seasonal fluctuations, management remains optimistic about meeting production targets. The ability to maintain high production levels will be crucial for Samasindo's performance in 2025. The company's confidence in achieving 75-80% capacity utilization suggests a positive outlook for its financial performance in the coming year.
