Our Mission

To become a global leader in sustainable palm oil production while creating positive impacts for the communities surrounding our operations.

Our Vision

To create shared prosperity through agribusiness for our people and our planet through advancing sustainable and inclusive practices.

Our Operations

PHC supports the palm oil value chain from start to finish. We produce high quality seeds at our CREATY research and experimentation centre, which are used across our three plantations Lokutu, Yaligimba and Boketa. Each mill produces palm oil and palm kernel oil, and all of our production is sold locally for Congolese consumption.

Our impact

PHC is committed to creating shared value and uplifting the communities we serve, delivering the highest standards of environmental protection, and building best practice corporate governance.

We have committed to zero-deforestation and rehabilitating previously exploited land across our operations, as well as embracing innovation to drive productivity and fulfil growing demand.
