Aumkar Plantations Sdn Bhd

About

Our story

Founded in 1978, Aumkar Group began its journey in Kampung Kalumpang, Tawau, Sabah, with the planting of 1,000 acres of oil palm. What started as a modest plantation has since grown into a diversified and forward-looking agribusiness, managing approximately 28,000 acres of agriculture land across the Tawau, Kunak, and Lahad Datu regions.

While oil palm remains the core of our operations, Aumkar has progressively diversified its agricultural footprint to include coconut, bamboo, cloves, and nutmeg—reflecting our commitment to sustainable land use and crop diversity.
