Built on the land.Evolving with technology.

Sri Walis has worked Malaysian plantation land since 1985. A family business now in its third generation, it adds professional project management, agriculture research and data to decades of field experience.

Our story

Sri Walis (M) Sdn Bhd was founded in 1985 as a plantation company focused on plantation management, agriculture assessment, and land clearing and planting contract works.

Over the decades it has prepared and planted land for oil palm, durian, rubber and forest-tree plantations, much of it in Pahang. That experience covers the practical essentials of plantation development: clearing and preparing land, and planting at scale.

The business has passed through three generations of the same family. In 2018, Mr Soh See Huei took over the plantation business from his grandfather, Mr Hu Ah Lek, with a clear ambition: to move Malaysian agriculture from traditional practice towards professional management informed by data, and to take Malaysian produce to international markets.

Our mission

Agriculture plays an important part in Malaysia’s economic growth. Our mission is to take Malaysian agricultural produce further: by bringing together specialists in land development, large-scale project management, forestry, digital marketing and branding, and by continuously improving the Sri Walis management system through in-house research and development — for quality and healthy yields that meet demanding markets.

Our approach

  • Design for purpose. Decisions start from assessment, not habit or hearsay.
  • Manage risk at every stage. Large plantation projects are planned, monitored and adjusted stage by stage.
  • Improve through research and data. Field records and in-house R&D refine how we plant and manage.

Agriculture + engineering + technology.

Three disciplines that rarely sit together in one plantation company — and the reason Sri Walis can contribute across the value chain.

Agriculture

Field operations since 1985 across oil palm, durian and rubber, with agriculture research expertise in the team: Dr Chin Kit Ling is a researcher at Universiti Putra Malaysia.

Engineering

Project management discipline from multinational oil and gas and waste-management engineering, applied to large-scale plantation development.

Technology

IT and big-data expertise to move plantation management from intuition and paper towards structured records and analysis.
