PESTEL
• Political- A political factor is an activity having to do with government policy and its administration that has the potential to change and influence a business.- Trends in the political-legal part have a significant impact not only on the level of competition within an industry but also on which strategies might be successful.- Like all other business entities, political as well as regulatory developments in Malaysia or foreign countries could have material effect on the financial performance of Sime Darby.- Amongst the political uncertainties are changes in political leadership and environment, expropriation, nationalization, unfavorable government policies such as import and export quotas, currency exchange rates, and methods of taxation and repatriation of funds. All these uncertainties are beyond the control of Sime Darby.
• Economics- Economic factor is set of fundamental information that affects a business or an investment’s value. Various economic factors need to be taken into account when determining the current and expected future value of a business or investment portfolio.- Economic factors include economic growth, interest rates, exchange rates and the inflation rates.- In Sime Darby, the main economic factors that influence the operation are the oil price and fluctuation in price of raw materials. These factors have major impacts on how businesses operate and make decisions.
• Sociocultural.- Sime Darby has always considered good Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”) practices to be an integral part of its business objectives in the palm oil industry.- Achieving a healthy and safe work environment is of utmost importance in striving for operational excellence. - Sime Darby consider it a responsibility that their owe to the employees, clients, stakeholders and society at large.
• Technological- Technological factors include ecological and environmental aspects such as Research and Development (R&D) activity, automation, technology incentives and the rate of technological change. - They can determine barriers to entry, minimum efficient production level and influence outsourcing decisions. Furthermore, technological shifts can affect cost, quality and lead to innovation.- In term of service related to the offshore services, advancement of technology in palm oil industry led to the improvement of quality services. - For example, Sime Darby is well equipped with advance software for its design and structure testing for its technology knowledge such as welding technology, non-destructive testing technology.
Porter’s 5 forces
Threat of new entrants
Bargaining power of
buyers
Threat of substitute
products or services
Bargaining power of suppliers
Rivalry among competing firms
Low Threat of New Entrants• Threat of new entrants is fairly low as start-up capital for a palm oil plantation of
palm oil processing mill is very high. For a firm to enter a market, besides registering an entity in a local country, the organization will need to obtain a series of approval and onsite inspection to ensure that the organization follow the regulation of health, safety and environment. The regulation is also subject to the individual country that the organization wishes to operate.
Low Bargaining Power of Buyers
• As the demand for palm oil increases, and price being pre-determine, the buyer does not have much bargaining power to demand for lower price. The major buyers are from European Union, China and India and with little control over price so the bargaining power of buyer is low.
High Threat of Substitute
• The threat of substitute is high for palm oil, as 80% of the palm oil is used for edible use as oil, fats and shortening (World Growth, 2011). Though palm oil yields four times production compared the closest yield which is rapeseed, there are many substitute in the market such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, peanut oil and olive oil. Among the substitute product, olive oil poses the highest as it is recognized as the healthiest of all and touted and the best of all edible oil.
Low Bargaining Power of Supplier• The raw materials needed for the cultivation are high quality seed, land and
fertilizers. • Seeds for plantation could be taken from current plantation. Land for cultivation
is available in Borneo however there are certain issue’s on land ownership. • Sime Darby and only bought from supplier at rare occasion of shortages, the
bargaining power of supplier here is low. • Most players in the market are involved in both upstream and downstream
activity and grow their own seedling in their nurseries.
High Rivalry among Competitors• The market production size is limited to the geographical location but this does
not limit the market player.• The market is very challenging and stiff with fellow giant public listed
companies. Even though Sime Darby seems to be leading the competition, the market followers are very close behind.
• Beside major players, there are many individual estate owners in the market, these estates or land are of inheritance and the current owners either cultivates palm oil or the land for palm oil cultivation
SWOT analysisStrength
• SDP practises environmental friendly operation and sustainable plantation process. Besides certifying it’s mill to be environment friendly, it also focuses on waste to wealth programme whereby, the mill wastes is turned into organic fertilisers. It also has a Biogas plant in Carey Island turning methane gas into electricity. SDP has a very strong presence both in the region and in the industry as it a part of a huge conglomerate. It is also the world’s largest listed plantation company by planted area.
Weakness• SDP is facing challenges on the development of palm oil industry and this is due to
poor road infrastructure in plantation plot to transport the CPO to the . Currently SDP is not utilizing the wastes cakes form the milling process and the waste from unproductive palm oil trees. These wastes are often being disposed to a waste management companies. The industry is also vulnerable to unpredictable weather condition and the changes in weather pattern could lead to lower yield of fresh fruit bunch. This a waste resulting from milling process and usually trapped outside the mill to be specially disposed later on, but at times it over flows and pollutes the land where the mill is due to either over production of heavy rain .
Opportunity• Increasing demand for CPO in European countries as well as China, India, South Korea and
Turkey proves the inevitable demand growth for palm oil .• Rising health issue in the world also promotes the usage of palm oil as it has the least
amount of cholesterol traces, contains crotenoids, an effective antioxidant to boost immune system, and is trans-fatty acid free.
• Besides having the perfect climate for growth and cultivation of palm oil and the surplus of land the availability of low cost workers also do contribute the potential of business growth in this region.
• Subsidies by both governments are also favourable towards the expansion of business foe Sime Darby. Indonesian government provides a tax exemption up to 30% for palm oil plantation and cultivation where else Malaysian government provides subsidy in re-plantation of palm oil trees.
Threat• Price of CPO could lead to lower demand of palm oil and at times even result to cancellation
of orders. 2008 also saw a huge financial meltdown, and this poses a huge threat to the industry. Limited supply of high quality seeds also could disrupt the re-plantation process and establishing new plantation estates. Land ownership issues is also seen as a huge risk when obtaining a new plantation estates, lack of clarity on land status and legal ownership of the land leads to loss of revenue due to inactivity of purchased land. Recently in Borneo, palm oil industry has faced Ganoderma basal stem rot (GBSR) disease which is caused by the wood-rotting fungus
