Established officially in 2008, although operating privately since 2002 the group now have plantations and agricultural projects on 4 continents with operational projects at various stages from start-up to fully operational plantations and farms.
Plantation Owner
and Operator
The Asia Plantation Capital Group is the owner and operator of a diverse range of commercial plantation and farming businesses globally. The group has provided sustainable forestry and agricultural land acquisition and development services to the global forestry and agricultural sector for more than 10 years.
According to the “Forest Financing” report by PricewaterhouseCoopers, opportunities in forestry, agricultural and plantation ownership have changed over the last decade, to become part of both large and small investors’ portfolios. There has also been a change in perception. Having previously been considered an alternative investment, they have become more mainstream, and are now an essential component of many institutional and pension growth funds.
The group owns its own freehold and long-term leasehold plantations. Its wholly owned land portfolio is free from any bank debt, and has been purchased with the company’s own funds.

The distillery and associated businesses in Thailand and China include state of the art finishing and processing production lines for agarwood oil and infused chips; agarwood resin; agarwood rice; incense sticks, and a range of raw materials for food supplements.
The manufacturing of structural construction boards and flooring produced from the group’s bamboo plantations are now being used in the construction of sustainable homes as part of the companies’ joint venture with EcoTechAsia.
One common factor sustainable plantations and farms that create sustainable products for the rapidly expanding numbers of environmentally conscious consumers worldwide drive these businesses, and ensure that the group remains fully vertically integrated throughout the product supply chain.
Forestry and Plantation
Specialists
Asia Plantation Capital offers plantation management services, providing plantation owners the option of having their plantations managed using the latest scientifically proven processes and techniques researched and developed by APC and its Global Scientific Advisory Board. Plantation and biological assets currently owned and/or under management on behalf of private clients, are in excess of US$600 million and are forecast to rise to more than US$1 billion over the next decade.
It is important to note that APC does not provide investment advice nor is authorised to do so, and recommend all parties considering entering into long term forestry and farming projects seek independent advice from reputable advisors.
Corporate, Social Responsibility
and Sustainability
Asia Plantation Capital’s mission is to become the leading provider and operator of sustainably managed forestry and agricultural plantations – from project evaluation all the way through to specific plantation acquisition and development.

With local people at the heart of our operations, and sustainable practices adopted throughout our agroforestry, we are a positive example of the ‘people, planet, and profit’ concept that is inspiring modern, sound business practices today.
