First Resources' production to slow down in Q2

It will ease before rebounding in 2H17 on the back of seasonality.

Agriplayer First Resources expects its production to slow down in the second quarter of the current year after a 44% growth in fresh fruit bunch (FFB) output recorded in Q1.

According to DBS, the group expects production to ease in the coming quarter before rebounding in 2H17 on seasonality.

"The group is reiterating its 15% FFB production growth guidance for the year. We maintain own FFB production target of 2.741m MT – representing a 16% YoY increase," he said.

Meanwhile, as part of the government’s biodiesel programme, the group had been allocated to deliver 38,360kl of biodiesel from May through October 2017 – down from 61,738kl in the November 2016 – April 2017 allocation revision. The total biodiesel allocation is cut by around 10% on the back of the ongoing rectification of procedures.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
