our average BOD reading for POME during the land
application stage falls well within the allowable discharge
limits of < 5,000 parts per million (“ppm”).
The POME collected from the mill is treated in open ponds
located on-site. The organic material in wastewater is broken
down by natural occurrences of anaerobic and aerobic
bacteria. This process eliminates the need to add chemicals
before POME is either mixed with shredded EFB to make
our compost.

The significant y-o-y decrease in the volumes of EFB
processed by PTNJL’s composting plant was due to issues
related to the plant’s operating license which resulted in

Drivers
• Improving productivity and environmental
performance of agriculture
• Increasing incorporation of fishmeal & fish
oil in poultry and farmed seafood diets
Restraints & Challenges
• Rising prices of ingredients used in
fishmeal & fish oil
• Availability of feed ingredients substitutes
• Microbial contamination in aquafeed
Opportunities
• Increasing demand for quality fish
worldwide
• Sustainable intensification of aquaculture
the plant’s operations being suspended in the first three-
quarters of FYE2020. During this suspension period, the
shredded EFB was applied at the fields and used as a
feedstock for the boilers.
578 MT of fish offcuts generated by fish processing activities
at International Food Corporation Ltd (“IFC”), the Food
Division’s processing plant in Papua New Guinea, are
converted into fishmeal which is then sold to companies
involved in the aquaculture and livestock industries.

IFC had commenced commercial production of crude fish oil
in FYE2020. The crude fish oil which is derived from tuna and
mackerel trimmings, will make better use of the by-products
from IFC’s main food production line, thereby reducing
wastages, is Halal and Kosher accredited.
