Corporate Profile
Kebun Rimau Sdn Bhd,
was incorporated in 1979 and is principally an
agro-based organisation. It is the registered owner
of about 3,000 acres of volcanic-soil agricultural
land located at Balung in Tawau district, near the
east coast of Sabah. This land has been planted with
oil palm, coffee, cocoa, teak, Arenga pinnata (palm
sugar tree) and numerous tropical fruits including
noni, dragon fruit, mangosteen and passion fruit.
The company’s principle activities have been the
cultivation, production and marketing of major
commodities such as oil palm (FFB), cocoa (dried
beans), coffee (dried green beans) and fresh
tropical fruits. However, in the last few years the
company ventured into down-stream processing to add
value to various tropical fruits by transforming
them into juice. As the need to attain food safety
standards emerged, a processing division, Balung
Processing Facilities, was created as a separate
activity within Kebun Rimau Sdn Bhd.
Balung Processing Facilities started with the
inception of the Noni Juice Processing Plant,
located within Kebun Sungai Balung, Tawau, 2-3
kilometers from the noni plantation of Kebun Sungai
Balung. This noni plantation covers about 300 acres;
the trees are now fully mature, yielding an average
of 20 tons per acre annually.
Other processing facilities which followed include
the Misai Kucing Herbal Tea Processing Plant; the
Arenga pinnata Syrup Processing Plant and the Freeze
Dryer Processing Plant, currently being installed as
an additional process line to the Noni Juice
Processing Plant. The company also plans to open a
candy manufacturing plant and dried bird’s-eye
chilli (chilli padi) processing plant in the near
future.
