- Mentiga Corporation Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding and agribusiness company primarily engaged in oil palm and durian cultivation, mineral extraction, timber operations, and property development. The company organizes its business operations into four main segments: Plantation, Mining, Timber Products, and Property Development and Construction. Its comprehensive product and service portfolio includes the cultivation and harvesting of oil palm crops to produce fresh fruit bunches, crude palm oil, and palm kernels; the commercial cultivation, harvesting, and distribution of premium durian varieties; the exploration, extraction, and processing of iron ore and related mineral deposits; sustainable timber extraction, log trading, timber processing, and forest reforestation management; and general construction, civil engineering, infrastructure works, and property development projects. Mentiga Corporation Berhad focuses its operational and commercial activities in Peninsular Malaysia, managing agricultural estates, forest concessions, and mining sites across the State of Pahang, including concessions in the Rompin, Pekan, and Lipis districts. The company conducts its principal activities through operating subsidiaries including Mentiga Plantation Sdn. Bhd., Mentiga Mining Sdn. Bhd., Mentiga Development & Construction Sdn. Bhd., and Lesong Forest Products Sdn. Bhd., operating under the ultimate holding entity Amanah Saham Pahang Berhad, an investment vehicle of the Pahang State Government. Founded in December 1970, Mentiga Corporation Berhad is headquartered in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia, and trades on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. In recent operational developments, the company executed a strategic transformation by phasing out its legacy timber trading operations to position upstream plantation agribusiness as its primary revenue generator, with oil palm and durian activities now contributing over 95 percent of group turnover. Consequently, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad officially reclassified the company from the Industrial Products and Services sector to the Plantation sector in July 2024. Additionally, the company has engaged in strategic land rationalization and concession expansion initiatives with state authorities to expand its planted acreage and modernize agricultural operations while executing operational and financial restructuring programs to strengthen liquidity and long-term capital stability.
