Community involvement
In 1996, Umar began developing palm oil plantations around Tanjung Jabung, Jambi Province, with an aim to benefit communities surrounding the area. This development was executed through Core-Plasma Partnership Program, a scheme for trans-migrant farmers, providing them with extra benefits such as capital loans, training, as well as the guarantee of purchase of agricultural yields at market price.[9] In 1998, at the same location, the program started to partner with the farmer's union. Such efforts resulted with a total plantation area of 7,701 hectares, and benefited around 4,576 families around the area. The same program was later launched in Pasaman, Western Sumatra, during 1996.
