Get a glimpse of Golden Agri's brewing M&A plans

It eyes boosting its planted area by 30,000 ha/year through M&A.

Here's what Nomura said in its recent plantations regional report:

We gathered that (1) Golden Agri is not carrying larger-than-normal palm oil inventories at this juncture, (2) it believes the recent fall in CPO price is excessive and expect prices to recover to where they are before the sharp decline.

It attributed the weak palm oil demand from China to high soybean crushing activities following aggressive buying of soybeans in 1H, (3) its rough estimate of the cost of palm oil certification is around US$2 per tonne, (4) it plans to raise its planted area by 30,000 ha per annum – 20,000 ha through new planting and 10,000 ha through M&A.

(5) Soybean crushing margins have improved slightly in China but remain at breakeven level, (6) its average cost of production for CPO is US$300 per tonne, and (7) the market price for planted oil palm estates in Indonesia is now around US$15,000-20,000 per ha.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
