First Resources sees strongest Q1 production

It reported fruit bunch production of 624,688 tonnes.

Agribusiness powerhouse First Resources reported a record-high Q1 fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production in the past quarter, thanks to the support of new mature areas.

According to UOB KayHian, First Resources reported FFB nucleus production of 624,688 tonnes in 1Q17, which was its strongest 1Q production.

The brokerage firm noted that there are 17,000ha of new areas coming into maturity in 2017.

However, the group may brace for production cuts in the second quarter of the year, due to the still lingering effects of El Niño.

Meanwhile, UOB KayHian expects FFB production to return to normal by 4Q17.

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.
