Abstract

PT Socfindo has more than 100 years of experience in the oil palm plantation industry and has contributed to more than 570 million oil palm seeds to plantations both in Indonesia and worldwide. This is equivalent to 2.8 million hectares of oil palm planted. The oil palm breeding work has been ongoing since 1913 and has led to the current the elite planting material of Socfindo. The technical quality of seeds produced can lead to a considerable percentage of weak seeds due to uncontrolled procedures leading to pollen contamination. PT Socfindo constantly look for ustainable improvements and innovations for its production management system and quality controlin order to guarantee the finest quality of its produced planting material. All the plants used in the progeny test parental gardens and seed gardens for seed production are checked through biomolecular techniques to confirm the offspring;s true from the parents. PT Socfindo implemented Quality Management System ISO 9001: 2000 in seed production process ISO 14001: 2004 and OHSAS 18000 since 2002 and 2008 respectively. Furthermore PT Socfindo has been using barcode information system in every step of its seed production from the field to seed packaging to guarantee the traceability of seeds purchased. Moreover the barcode system is also used as a major tool for quality control purposes. The barcode system gives many benefits during data input process which is faster has high accuracy traceability and with a minimum effective cost.
