FGV Annual Report 2020

Mega Biodiversity Corridor Project FGV has a five (5) year commitment to the Borneo Conservation Trust (BCT) and Sabah Wildlife Department to participate in the Mega Biodiversity Corridor Conservation Project in the lower Kinabatangan Basin. Through this initiative, we support the re- establishment, restoration and protection of riparian zones to protect important wildlife corridors for Borneo pygmy elephants, Orangutans, proboscis monkeys and other important wildlife species. Biodiversity with Integrated Farming initiatives FGV’s expansion into integrated farming is contributing towards the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in our plantation operations. With better land management in mind and Good Agricultural Practices as the standard operating procedures, the Group has ventured into commercial scale MD2 pineapple cultivation in Johor and Perlis, and cultivating Cavendish bananas as an intercropping cash crop amidst its plantations in Johor. It is also rehabilitating a Harumanis mango plantation in the Agro Valley in Chuping. FGV has ventured into paddy planting and established a MRQ76 seed garden in Kawasan Pembangunan Pertanian Bersepadu (IADA) Seberang Perak and IADA Barat Laut Selangor. 159 Who We Are How We Operate How We Are Governed Additional Information Sustainability Matters Statement & Discussion By Our Leaders
