UNSP Operating Profit Jumps 130 Percent to Rp 310 Billion

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk or UNSP reports a 130 percent surge in operating profit to Rp 310 billion on Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025 in Jakarta as rising palm oil prices and higher plantation productivity drive stronger margins.

PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk engages in plantation, processing, and trading of palm oil and rubber commodities.

Sales rose 5 percent year on year to Rp 1.87 trillion, supported by palm oil revenue of Rp 1.75 trillion and rubber sales of Rp 118 billion.

The company also recorded a 28 percent increase in gross profit to Rp 576 billion, while EBITDA jumped 68 percent to Rp 430 billion in the first nine months of 2025.

“The company continues to work hard to improve the productivity of our plantation assets, including through replanting using superior seedlings,” President Director Bayu Irianto said.

He added that the operational gains came amid a rise in global crude palm oil prices from a monthly average of US$ 1,019 per ton CIF Rotterdam in the third quarter of 2024 to US$ 1,212 in the same period of 2025.

UNSP Director and Head of Investor Relations Andi W Setianto said the company had increased plant utilization by purchasing fresh fruit bunches from smallholders who lack access to mills.

“This is also to help improve their welfare,” he said.

Andi emphasized that the company followed strict Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil protocols, including zero burning and circular economy practices.

“Sustainability in the palm oil industry covers many aspects of people and planet, such as improving farmers’ welfare in line with the Sustainable Development Goals’ no-poverty target, zero-waste through the circular economy, and no-deforestation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for climate change,” he explained.

He added that UNSP had developed certified high yield seedlings capable of lifting output significantly without expanding land.

“With superior seedlings, productivity can increase after the replanting program,” Andi said.

Field results showed that UNSP’s certified seedlings produced up to 10 tons of CPO per hectare each year, supported by an average of 40 tons of fresh fruit bunches per hectare and an oil extraction rate of 25 percent.

“With superior seedlings, plantation land does not need to expand, yet CPO production can multiply, which increases biodiesel output for national energy resilience,” he said.

President Director Bayu Irianto added that high yield seedlings and smallholder replanting programs were vital to raising long term plantation productivity.

“Following our focus on improving plantation and mill productivity, we will take concrete steps to improve productivity in other assets and strengthen our capital structure,” he said.

Bayu said he remained optimistic about the company’s future performance.

“In the medium and long term, UNSP will rise again to find its best momentum and become a plantation company with solid business fundamentals,” he said.
