The Star Online (10/10/2018) - INVESTORS have the opportunity to capitalise on the high global demand for palm oil via East West One Group’s (EWOG) highly successful planter’s schemes.

The Malaysian conglomerate is the largest Companies Commission of Malaysia-approved planter’s scheme operator in the country in terms of total land bank which spans some 30,000 acres in Sabah.

It manages two planter’s schemes. The first is the East West One Planter’s Scheme (EWOPS) managed by East West One Consortium Bhd, which covers 15,725 acres and offers high returns of up to 80% over an investment period of eight years.

The other is the East West Horizon Planter’s Scheme (EWHPS) managed by East West Horizon Plantation Berhad, covering 11,670 acres with high returns of up to 88% over eight years. Both are still available for public subscription.

Since their respective introductions in 2011 and 2015, EWOPS and EWHPS have offered investors 28 and 14 quarterly payouts. The next quarterly payout for both schemes is Dec 31 this year.

TMF Trustees Malaysia Berhad serves as the appointed trustee to ensure investors’ investments are safeguarded with monthly net returns paid into the personal bank accounts of investors at the end of each quarter and adherence to all terms and conditions of the schemes.

Both planter’s schemes are audited by international accounting firm Crowe Malaysia every six months to ensure transparency.

Oil palm has become a major source of the world’s supply of vegetable oil, thus making it one of the most important crops in Malaysia, especially in Sabah.

With the increase in world population, it is expected that consumption of palm oil will continue to remain high.

EWOG’s business interests range across the agriculture, healthcare, mining and investment industries. The group was established in 2006 in Sabah.

Under the agriculture sector, EWOG is involved in oil palm cultivation, oil palm seedling planting and distribution, timber concession operation and livestock farming. Future planned commodities of the group include coconut, cocoa, coffee and softwood.

EWOG also operates a private holistic wellness centre and owns a biological laboratory for the distribution of innovative regenerative medical solutions through partnership with an Australian-based medical research company.

It is involved in mining operations in Indonesia, managing several marble quarries as well as the international marketing of marble in the form of blocks, slabs and tiles.
