Operation of a crude palm oil mill

Tung Hup Palm Oil Mill Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Tung Hup Enterprise Sdn Bhd, was incorporated in August 1992 and commenced operations in November 1996, with a capacity to process 45 tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) per hour. Subsequently, another processing line was added, thus doubling the total capacity to 90 tonnes of FFB per hour.

Our mill has consistently performed well in terms of processing volume and extraction rate. We have maintained an average oil extraction rate (OER) of 21.2 per cent since its inception, which is above the industry average of 20 per cent.
