First Resources (Singapore)
First Resources Limited, founded in Singapore in 1992, operates as an investment holding company primarily focused on palm oil production. Its extensive operations span Singapore, Indonesia, Europe, China, and other international regions. The company's business is organized into two main divisions: Plantations and Palm Oil Mills, and Refinery and Processing. In its Plantations and Palm Oil Mills segment, First Resources is responsible for cultivating and maintaining oil palms, as well as harvesting and milling fresh fruit bunches to produce crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernels (PK). The Refinery and Processing division subsequently transforms these CPO and PK products into a variety of value-added derivatives, such as biodiesel, palm kernel oil, palm kernel expeller, and refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) olein and stearin. Beyond its core palm oil activities, the company also engages in rubber cultivation. First Resources oversees a substantial agricultural portfolio, managing 212,208 hectares of oil palm plantations and an additional 6,321 hectares dedicated to rubber. The company is a subsidiary of Eight Capital Inc.
