Socfin SA is a Belgian concern having its origins from the Belgian Congo back in the 1890s, and acquiring its first Malaysian plantation in 1905. Adrian Hallet, a founder of Socfin, planted the first commercial oil palm plantation in Indonesia in 1911. The parent holding company of the Socfin group is Socfinal based in Luxembourg. The group presently has interests in plantation companies throughout Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Guinea, Kenya and Indonesia. These interests usually involve a majority shareholding and are always managed by the group through Socfinco SA based in Brussels.Although Palm Oil and Rubber are its core products the group also produces Coffee and Roses. All produce if not sold locally are exported through Sogescol SA, also based in Brussels. Socfin has always adhered to sound long term sustainable decision making which is probably why it has survived for so long. This cautious approach respects the environment and the culture of the country in which it is operating. As such International Development Banks like DEG often participate in the groups’ investments.<\/p>\n
