Empty fruit bunch or EFB is a by-product from palm oil industry, must of the fibre has been used as the prime material for fibre mattress, biomass or landscape.  Field industry has never stop exploring other opportunity for EFB.  Pelletize EFB is one of the strategy the field engineer applied.

Currently the EFB pellet has mostly used in biomass industry however there are a few more sectors who need pelletize EFB.  However difference industry may have respective pelletize condition.  At this moment, we are seeing some obstacle for EFB pellet business in biomass sectos.  Since DST has participarte in pelleting business for many in Malaysia, we are having better opportunity to widen up our EFB pellet application and business.

Is Malaysia Government provides a Positive EFB Pellet Business Environment?

Investing million Ringgit amout setup an EFB pellet plant could be a challenging decision if we are unable to get support from government.  Investor could look for tax exemption from Malaysia government or MIDA.

Besides tax exemption, Malaysia government also established certain organization such as SP Biomass in promoting the EFB pellet to Euro country.  There are also exhibition, symposium, conference being held through out the years.  You could always find the first hand information regarding Malaysia biomass or EFB pellet via SP Biomass.

Like we explain earlier, we agree, many investor who participate in EFB pellet business in Malaysia is facing great challenge this year.  Besides the support from Malaysia government, as an EFB pellet investor or SME, we are having our own responsibility to expand the EFB plellet from Biomass to other sectors.   The industry will be always there and just how we are going to position ourselves for next regime.
