Seeds - Musim Mas

Genetic Research Centre

In Musim Mas, we drive innovation in good management practices, focusing on optimizing crop protection and peat management across our plantations.

Established since 2010, Genetic Research Centre (GRC) was set up to produce high quality non-GMO planting materials for Musim Mas Group as well as for external customers. We believe that sustainable agriculture hinges on maximizing land-use efficiency through higher yields.

To that end, we have been selectively breeding oil palm seeds to produce varieties that produce high oil yield per hectare. GRC also dedicated to breeding superior oil palms that are resilient to harsh environmental conditions and possess desirable traits, such as enhanced disease resistance.

Assurance of Responsible Production

More Efficient Land Use
By utilizing our GS seed varieties, plantations can significantly enhance land efficiency, reducing the need for agricultural expansion to boost output. We project a 20% increase in oil yields with when using our seeds with best management practices.
> Oil Extraction Rate (OER) = 28.5%
> Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Production up to 9-10MT/ha/Y.

Assurance of Quality

Multi-location trial
Our expansive 450-hectare trial area in Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia, an area four times larger than typical research stations, enables us to select from a broader pool of palm crosses. We’ve planted over 680 crosses, testing them under diverse weather and soil conditions to ensure they thrive and produce abundant fruit bunches in your plantations.

Proven Performance in Semi-Commercial Trial
After identifying the best seeds from our multi-location trials, we proceeded with further testing to obtain more conclusive results. Since 2021, we have conducted semi-commercial trials using our superior DxP seeds.

99.99% Pure GS Series Seeds
We take precise measures to maintain the purity of our seeds. By using pollen-proof pollination bags, we isolate the pollination of selected Dura and Pisifera palms to prevent unintended random pollination. Production involves a stringent selection process, utilizing 6.5% of the Dura tree population along with 6 Pisifera trees.
