We Drive Innovation
We are a dynamic organisation with a rich history spanning 200 years. Our ongoing success is rooted in resilience, adaptability, sustainability, and innovation.
These core strengths are now driving us into a new phase of change and growth. From industry-leading genetic breeding and seed technology to innovative advancements in agriculture, SD Guthrie is transforming the plantation industry.
Eco-Solutions
Guthrie proudly maintains a Zero-Burning Policy that has been in place since 1985. We pioneered the Zero-Burning Replanting Technique in 1985, and replacing the outdated slash-and-burn method. What was then an innovative approach has become the standard for environmentally responsible oil palm replanting.
We are committed to protecting our assets and enhancing soil nutrients to cultivate healthier palm fruits. By minimising the use of nitrogen fertilisers and pesticides, we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint while ensuring a safer working environment for our dedicated field staff.
GenomeSelect®
We are one of the first to sequence, assemble, and annotate the oil palm’s genome. This has enhanced our understanding of the genetic composition of our oil palm breeding population. Following more than a decade of extensive data analytics and breeding programmes, we successfully established a DNA prediction model for superior yield traits. This model has enabled us to produce our latest high-yielding seed, GenomeSelect®.
Food Science
Guthrie drives innovation in food science by developing high-quality, low-contaminant palm oil products like KALIS™ and KALIS+™, leveraging global research centres, advanced food safety measures, and sustainable processing techniques to meet evolving consumer needs and safety standards.
Precision Agriculture
Guthrie's Precision Agriculture innovations leverage advanced imaging, machine learning, and real-time data to optimise plantation mapping, pest and disease management, water distribution, carbon tracking, and targeted harvesting, ensuring sustainable operations, and improved productivity.
Laboratory Services
Our global laboratories deliver accurate, dependable analyses using cutting-edge technology and are accredited by Standards Malaysia under the SAMM Scheme MS ISO/IEC 17025.
