Meet Nurhayati
Smallholder Farm Owner | Wenda Amp Plantation
She and her husband own a small plantation that grew the palm oil in your tasty hazelnut spread.
The fresh fruit bunches of palm kernels are brought to their local mill, crushed, and later refined into the palm oil that gives your hazelnut spread its smooth, creamy texture.

Nurhayati Wenda and her family have owned their family farm, Wenda Amp plantation, for 11 years. She and her family take advantage of Asian Agri's small holder program. She has 3 children. Her eldest daughter is studying economics at the National University of Singapore and received a scholarship from Apical's student scholarship fund. Her youngest daughter and her 2 grandchildren live in town to be close to family.
Nurhayati’s parents and grandparents were subsistence agricultural farmers, and prior to the development of Wenda Amp plantation, her village did not have electricity or an elementary school when she was growing up. She's happy to see her grandchildren thrive with new opportunities. Nurhayati hopes to one day visit Europe with her family.

Reaching Full Potential
To tackle the issues of education and stunting in Indonesia, Belinda Tanoto, Member of the Board of Trustees at Tanoto Foundation recently spoke with the Jakarta Post and shared about the Foundation’s passion behind its support in these areas.
Belinda said, “The brains of stunted children do not develop properly and the cognitive impairment is visible in brain scans. It is no surprise that stunted children suffer from learning disabilities and are more likely to drop out of school.” The Foundation remains committed to its mission - every person should have the opportunity to realize his or her full potential.
At Apical, part of the RGE group of companies, we are proud of the contributions that RGE’s philanthropic arm at Tanoto Education has made towards education, leadership development and medical research in the communities which we operate.
