Hotspot Monitoring for Palm Oil Plantations

We are providing regular updates from hotspot monitoring efforts where our oil palm plantations are located in South Sumatra and West Kalimantan, Indonesia, starting today. The updates will cover all areas within our boundaries and up to one kilometer away. Updates will be posted daily until the end of the dry season.

Cargill has a strict zero-burning policy. We do not condone burning of land for any means: agricultural, economic or social. The smoke haze from burning severely impacts the health and livelihoods of millions living in our local communities, including our colleagues.
