About Equatorial Palm Oil

EPO's objective is to become a producer of sustainable, low-cost CPO and to this end it has extensive operations located near the coast in Liberia, West Africa.  The Company's operational strategy is expected to be implemented through three core business activities: the rehabilitation of existing oil palm plantations; the development of new plantations; and the development of out-grower small holdings.  The Company has secured Government ratified Investment Agreements in Liberia for the investment, rehabilitation and participation by the Group over a sizeable acreage of existing oil palm plantations.  EPO's operations have already commenced at the Butaw Plantation and Palm Bay Plantation.
