Best Agro International

What Best Agro International does

Best Agro International is an Indonesian oil palm plantation company headquartered in Kuningan Timur, Indonesia, and founded in 1995. The company's core business is the cultivation of oil palm and the production of cooking palm oils, operating as a for-profit, privately held enterprise.

The firm operates at substantial scale, with reported headcount of 10,000+ employees across its plantation and processing operations. As a vertically integrated palm oil producer, Best Agro combines upstream agricultural cultivation (oil palm estates) with downstream production of cooking-grade palm oil for consumer and industrial markets. Its geographic base in Indonesia positions it within the world's largest palm oil-producing region, which provides structural advantages in land cost, yield, and proximity to processing infrastructure.
