OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

      Initially named P.T. Perusahaan Perkebunan MELANIA was established in Medan, North Sumatera with an authorized capital of US$ 636,517.- entirely issued and paid up. The founding shareholders were JABEMALUX S.A. of Luxemburg, as a foreign partner, DANA PENSIUN BANK MANDIRI JAKARTA, YAYASAN KESEJAHTERAAN PEGAWAI BANK MANDIRI and Mr. Drs. Hadi Sutanto, all of Indonesia. The articles of association has frequently been amended. In August 1993, the company renamed P.T. MELANIA INDONESIA (P.T. MI). In June 1998, the status law of the company had been moved to Jakarta. The deed of amendment was made by Mr. Sutjipto, SH., a public notary in Jakarta under Company Registration Number C2-13.389.HT.01.04.TH. 1998, dated September 9, 1998. The latest in May 2001, P.T. ALICIA INDONESIA and P.T. MOESI INDONESIA merger with P.T. MELANIA DONESIA and the company taking the merger was P.T. MELANIA INDONESA. But the latest revision of notary deed under still processing at Department of Justice and Human Right for legalization.

 

      The venture is a member of the SIPEF Group or MELANIA Group, a large business group based in Luxemburg, Belgium and in Indonesia the Group set up several companies especially dealing with integrated oil palm plantation and processing, tea plantation and processing and crumb rubber plantation and processing.

 

P.T. MI obtained a Foreign Capital Investment (PMA) facility issued by the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to deal with tea and crumb rubber and processing. The company has been in operation since 1970 by managing and developing a tea plantation of 2,136 hectares in Desa Sukaresmi, Ciwendy, Cibuni, West Java and rubber plantation in Palembang, South Sumatera on a land of 3,096 hectares. There is also its processing unit in this site and tea plantation natural tourist resort surrounding its tea plantation. The above tea and rubber plantation and processing has absorbed an investment of US$ 4,409,923.- come from owned capital of US$ 626,517.-, reinvested profit of US$ 1,796,923.- and the rest from loans. The whole products like tea is exported to the USA, Europe Union, Japan, India and Asian countries. Meanwhile, around 95% of its products in the form of crumb rubbers are used by overseas rubber and tire manufacturing companies in the USA, France, Japan and South Korea. Sharp Rupiah depreciation against the US Dollar, EUR, Japanese Yen and other hard currencies has good impact to P.T. MI's financial condition because most of its products is exported. On the other hand, the incessant economic crisis has also affected badly to the company's operation due to sharp rise in its basic material and price of the rubber products.

 

Generally, the national tea production has been fluctuating in the last five years as the impact of the unstable economic condition in the country and the increasing oil prices, labor wages and others. The largest destination countries of the national tea export up to 2005 included Russia of 15.4%, the UK of 14.4%, Malaysia of 9%, Pakistan of 8.6%, Germany of 7%, the USA of 7%, Poland of 5.4% and the Netherlands of 5.3%. Meanwhile, the national tea consuming rate reaches just 310 gram per capita while India reaching 660 gram per capita, Saudi Arabia of 670 gram per capita and Iraq of 2.770 gram per capita. Besides, the demand for crumb rubber dropped down until mid-June 2001 as the impact of the lower price of rubber market in the world causing the local production dropped down. The falling down of rubber market has made the rubber farmers mostly in small plantation were reluctant to maintain their plantation. The over-supply in the international market caused the price lower and kept weakening within the last few years. The lower price of natural rubber in the world is also affected by the lower demand from the USA followed by the WTC tragedy on 11 September 2001.
