The Caribbean’s most ambitious vegetable oil production project

Induspalma’s plantations currently exceed 6,000 hectares and are located in the provinces of Monte Plata and Hato Mayor. The different agro-industrial processes generate more than 600 jobs, benefiting hundreds of families and impacting the socioeconomic development of dozens of communities in that region.

The project’s culmination was preceded by several years of studies by specialists from different countries, who considered every detail of its feasibility and environmental impact.

Expert opinion classifies Induspalma’s plantations (located at 18° North Latitude), as well-structured production units with an acceptable degree of competitiveness. Induspalma’s plantations are at the level of world producers. All its industrial processes, following the strictest environmental conservation standards, have earned the company several awards.
