Why 27 Advisory

Where Plantation Intelligence Meets Investment Expertise

Successful plantation transactions demand more than conventional valuation methods: an integrated read of operations, biological assets and market dynamics that withstands investor scrutiny.

The Opportunity

Plantation Assets Are Being Repriced in Real Time

Rising sustainability expectations, changing ownership structures and uneven operational performance are creating significant valuation gaps across plantation transactions. A robust plantation valuation must integrate operational diagnostics, biological asset assessment, replanting economics, sustainability performance and long-term cashflow resilience.

Book Value Rarely Reflects True Enterprise Value

Estate quality, replanting cycles and operational performance often create significant gaps between book value and true enterprise value.

Consolidation Is Creating More Complex Transactions

Trees grow, mature and decline on their own timeline, making valuation, diligence and deal structuring inherently more complex than transactions involving static, depreciable assets.

ESG & Carbon Now Influence Transaction Pricing

Sustainability performance and carbon exposure increasingly influence plantation asset valuations, financing terms and investor confidence.

CPO Prices Are Trending Upward

CPO prices remain on a sustained upward trend, and sellers who transact too early risk leaving significant value on the table before that upside is fully captured.

Our Approach

A Different Way to See Value

Most plantation and mill valuations default to a depreciated replacement cost: a backward-looking view of what was spent, not what an asset can earn. Ours is built differently.

01

Going-Concern, Not Replacement Cost

We value assets on expected future cash flows and earnings capacity, not depreciated cost.

02

DCF as the Primary Method

The industry standard for palm oil assets, where sector transparency allows real confidence in projections.

03

Forward-Looking, Not Historical

Planned initiatives are captured as intrinsic value today, not left invisible in a backward-looking number.

"Replanting, yield rehabilitation and cost optimisation are captured as intrinsic value today, not left invisible in a backward-looking number."
