This is on the back of its record-breaking sales of $1.4b in FY21.

First Resources Limited saw its net profit soar 61.6% year-on-year (YoY) in the financial year (FY) 2021 to $218.23m (US$161.1m), the company’s latest financial statement showed.

The palm producer likewise saw a spike in its sales which rose 56.3% YoY to a record of $1.4b (US$1.032b), driven by higher average selling prices and stronger sales volumes.

In the same financial year, the group registered growth in production volumes and yields of its fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and crude palm oil (CPO).

FFB production rose 2.9% YoY to 3,367,668 tonnes, whilst CPO production increased 1.6% to 869,241 tonnes.

Both FFB and CPO yields also came in higher in FY 2021 at 17.2 tonnes per hectare, and 3.9 tonnes per hectare, respectively.

Given the strong performance of the company, the board of directors has proposed a final dividend of $0.0510 per share for FY21 ended 31 Demceb 2021, bringing the full-year ordinary dividend to $0.0635 per share, representing 50% of the group’s underlying

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
