The Vereenigde Indische Cultuurondernemingen — the VICO, the United Indies Cultivation Enterprises — was a Dutch planting-company active in the onderafdeeling Langsa of the afdeeling Oostkust van Atjeh, founded with predominantly Belgian capital. The VICO holds the estates Langsa (to be distinguished from the government rubber-estate) and Kemoening in Langsa — the two rubber-lands are under one management and have a factory together. The VICO also holds the estate Damar Sipoet with a thousand bouw of rubber. In Langsa the VICO also held the land-grant at the Gajo-weg, partly together with a Japanese company, before the land was given back to the landschap in 1922.
