IN BRIEF: REA Holdings fresh fruit production down amid plentiful rain

REA Holdings PLC - Indonesia-focused palm oil company - Reports 851,785 fresh fruit bunch tonnes harvested in 2025, up from 842,515 tonnes in 2024. Crude palm oil production decreases to 189,215 tonnes from 190,235, and crude palm kernel oil decreases to 17,461 tonnes from 18,086 tonnes. Says rainfall across the estates averaged 3,885 millimetres, 23% above the ten-year historic average, and up by around 44% from 2,707mm in 2024. ‘Climatic factors delayed ripening which meant that the typical weighting of crops to the second half of the year did not occur and the peak crop usually experienced in the final quarter did not materialise,’ REA says. Adds however that the outlook for production and sales of both CPO and CPKO is positive. The company adds: ‘So far as is known, there will be no further assessments of the group pursuant to the Indonesian government’s review of regulatory compliance by oil palm growers.’ In 2025, the Indonesian government initiated a review of regulatory compliance by the Indonesian oil palm industry.

REA plans to publish its 2025 results in the second half of April.
