Expanding PKS Supply Opportunities for the Korean Biomass Energy Market
PKS Korea, the Biomass Energy Division of JISUTRADE, is seeking reliable Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) suppliers from Africa and Latin America to explore long-term supply opportunities with Korean biomass power plants.
While Malaysia and Indonesia remain major sources of PKS for international biomass markets, PKS Korea is also interested in identifying qualified suppliers from emerging supply regions.
Our goal is to develop a diversified and dependable supplier network that can support the long-term requirements of Korean power plants.
Opportunities for PKS Suppliers in Africa
Several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Cameroon, have established palm oil industries that generate palm kernel shells as a by-product.
PKS Korea welcomes inquiries from palm oil mills, PKS collection companies, biomass aggregators, and exporters in these countries and other African markets.
Companies with reliable PKS sourcing arrangements, consistent quality, and practical export logistics are encouraged to contact us.
Exploring PKS Supply Potential in Latin America
Latin America also offers opportunities for future PKS supply development.
Countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Honduras have palm oil production activities that may provide a foundation for PKS collection and export.
PKS Korea is interested in working with local producers, aggregators, and biomass trading companies to assess available supply volumes, product quality, and export feasibility.
Established PKS export experience is valuable, but companies developing new export capabilities are also welcome to introduce their operations.
What PKS Korea Looks for in Suppliers
To support meaningful discussions with Korean power plant buyers, PKS Korea focuses on four essential areas:
- Supply Capability – Reliable PKS sourcing, available monthly volumes, and continuity of supply.
- Product Quality – Calorific value, moisture, ash, chlorine, and supporting laboratory test results.
- Export Experience – Previous shipments, export markets, and available trade documentation.
- Loading Port and Logistics – Loading port, vessel accessibility, loading facilities, and shipment feasibility.
Through our Certified Vendor Program (CVP), we collect and review supplier information and supporting evidence to assess potential cooperation.
Connecting Suppliers with Korean Power Plants
PKS Korea operates as a sales agent connecting qualified overseas PKS suppliers with Korean biomass power plants.
Our role includes supplier qualification, supply information management, buyer communication, commercial coordination, and assistance with contract preparation.

We aim to build practical, transparent, and long-term business relationships based on reliable information and mutual trust.
