Wilmar sold goods to 6 firms issued notices under Singapore haze law; no operational relationship

[SINGAPORE] Wilmar International sold fertilisers and diesel products for heavy equipment to six companies in Indonesia that have been issued notices under Singapore’s haze law, the agribusiness disclosed in a bourse filing on Saturday (Oct 31).

The revenue for such sales amounted to 371,289.9 million rupiah (US$22.5 million) for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025, it said in response to queries from Singapore Exchange Regulation.

But Wilmar added that it has no operational or supply-chain relationship to the six companies, namely:

• Bumi Andalas Permai;
• Bumi Mekar Hijau;
• Paramitra Mulia Langgeng;
• SBA Wood Industries;
• Buana Megatama Jaya; and
• Baratama Putra Perkasa.

Wilmar also said that it does not have any operational, supply-chain or business relationship with the remaining four companies that Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued preventive measures notices to, under the the Republic’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.

Those four companies are:

• Sumatera Alam Anugerah;
• Hutan Lestari Raya;
• Bangkanesia; and
• Mananjung Hayak.

Wilmar also confirmed that none of the 10 companies is its subsidiary.

In separate filings on Friday, Indofood Agri Resources and Kencana Agri said that they do not have operational, supply-chain or business relationships with the 10 companies named by NEA, and that these entities are not subsidiaries.

Kencana Agri also announced on Sunday that it will engage assessors from the Singapore government’s panel, as directed by the NEA, to assess any connections it may have with fires in Indonesia linked to the haze.

The company will do this voluntarily and at its own cost, and “welcomes the opportunity to engage constructively with the relevant authorities and independent assessors”, it said in a bourse filing.
