10/04/2017 (The Star Online) - Oil palm is a proven, versatile and strategic crop used in both food and non-food industries around the world.

Demand for this crop has been steadily increasing in recent years, and is expected to outstrip supply in the near future as the global population increases.

This positive economic prospect makes investing in the Malaysian oil palm industry both a worthy and rewarding proposition, especially for plantations in Sabah which have highly favourable agronomic conditions that ensure high production and yields.

Take advantage of this opportunity by visiting East West One Group’s (EWOG) booth during the StarProperty.my Fair 2017 in Queensbay Mall from Thursday to Sunday.

The group is primarily involved in the oil palm plantation business in Sabah, and has interests in various businesses within the oil palm value chain including oil palm cultivation, oil palm seedling distribution and fresh fruit bunches collection centre operations.

Founded by Datuk Dr Jessie Tang, EWOG is the nation’s leading and largest Companies Commission of Malaysia — approved oil palm plantation interest scheme operator and manager with close to 30,000 acres of land bank in Sabah.

There are two schemes under EWOG — the East West One Planter’s Scheme (EWOPS) and East West Horizon Planter’s Scheme (EWHPS).

EWOPS, the first scheme, was fully subscribed in September 2015 while the EWHPS, officially launched in June 2015, is available for public subscription.

EWOPS investors have received a total of 22 quarterly payouts thus far, while those with EWHPS have received eight.

The next payout for both schemes will be on June 30.

EWHPS has a total land bank of 11,670 acres and offers high returns of up to 88% over an investment duration of eight years.

EWOG’s headquarters is located in Sabah, while its marketing offices are located in Malacca, Penang, Perak and Selangor.
