 WILMA International Ltd is an established, experienced company that specialises  in  oil  palm  cultivation and production. 

The potential for oil palm cultivation in the Sepik Plains  has been overlooked over the years though there have been talks  involving  the  government and landowners. 

The country needs new investments in agriculture   and those of us in the oil industry support the initiative by Minister for Commerce and Industry Richard Maru as he spearheads  the  SME initiative. 

It is also good to see the national government supporting Maru with K50 million funding for infrastructure development in the Sepik Plains. 

From my experience, any company that wishes to engage in logging prior to  or   while   emphasising on oil palm development should be stopped as they are not genuine.
