On Buvuma Island, Bidco will establish a nucleus estate for oil palm production of approximately 5,000 ha, plus the estate road network. In all the new hubs, the private sector partner will also finance the establishment of a nursery, to supply the smallholder growers with oil palm seedlings; as well as a CPO mill to process the FFBs supplied by the growers. The mill will be established once 3,000 ha of smallholder oil palm have been planted; the capacity can expand as the area under cultivation further increases.
