WILMAR INTERNATIONAL

Nandini Vijayaraghavan and Umesh Desai

Chapter 5 in The Singapore Blue Chips:The Rewards & Risks of Investing in Singapore's Largest Corporates, 2017, pp 31-36 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Wilmar, one of the largest companies listed on the SGX, shares interesting similarities and differences with GAR. Both companies were founded by immigrant Chinese entrepreneurs in Indonesia and are dominant players in the global oil palm industry. Wilmar distinguishes itself from GAR on account of its more diversified business model that includes sugar, fertilizer and consumer food businesses. It would also be interesting to observe how these companies counter the current low commodity price environment and evolve in the future, which is discussed in the concluding sections of this chapter.
