Development of Oil Palm Plantations

Establishment History

Koperasi Serbausaha Makmur Berhad (KOSMA) commenced its primary activities in the development and cultivation of oil palm plantations since its inception. On November 2, 1966, the Pahang State Government’s Exco meeting approved an allocation of approximately 55,000 acres in Mukim Keratong, District of Rompin, Pahang Darul Makmur for this purpose.

Development Focus

The approved area was subject to specific conditions, namely, to be planted with oil palm, with the aim of developing the land and selling it to KOSMA members as Unit Ladang investments.
