With good intention, I have posted a few articles to promote plantation stocks because CPO price has been sky rocketing to historical high as shown on the CPO price chart below.
All investors are expecting plantation companies to report better profit for the quarter ending March which should be announced next week.
Among all the plantation companies, Cepatwawasan is the first to report its profit for the quarter ending March. Cepatwawasan reported 4.93 sen EPS for the quarter ending March. It reported 7.74 sen EPS for the quarter ending December.
Why should it report reduced profit when CPO price has been surging up higher and higher?
I was shocked to find out the reason why the company reported reduced profit despite the rising CPO price. Cepatwawasan produced less FFB due the shortage of foreign workers. Our government restricted entry of foreign workers due to Covid 19 pandemic.
Plantation companies will most likely report lesser profit for the quarter ending March 2022 than the quarter ending December 2021 despite the rising CPO price.
Why CPO price is surging?
The reasons are:
1) The rising CPO price is due to reduced FFB production which is caused by shortage of foreign workers.
2) Indonesia CPO export restriction to help local consumers.
3) Sunflower oil export restriction due to Ukraine-Russia conflict. Ukraine and Russia produce about 80% of Sunflower oil in the world.
As required by Bursa, all plantation companies are required to report their monthly FFB production.
The tabulation below shows all the plantation companies produced lesser FFB for the quarter ending March than the previous quarter ending December 2021.

As I said, despite the record CPO price, all plantation companies would not report higher profit due to shortage of workers. However, the situation has changed as Malaysia is re-opening of international borders on 1st April 2020 as you can see the announcement below.
Plantation companies has good profit growth prospect.
MALAYSIA - RE-OPENING OF INTERNATIONAL BORDERS ON 1 APRIL 2022. we refer to the press release issued by the Ministry of Health (MOH) dated 24 March 2022 where the Government announced the reopening of Malaysia's International borders for travellers from all countries, effective 1 April 2022. All plantation companies should produce more FFB for the quarter ending June than the quarter ending March.
Investors must look ahead to make more money. Clever investors should take advantage to buy plantation stocks especially Subur Tiasa which has been dropping rapidly as shown on the price chart below.

shortage of workers is the biggest enemy..

mampus la if harapkan Gen Z and the millenials to go tanam sawit and padi.. XD
Smart Farming is the way forward..

The low production output in Q1 has nothing to do with any other factors but the nature of palm tre.

It's not labor shortage! Rather coming drought that will produce much lower yield!

" As food prices may even go up as high as 60% in the next 6 mths loh! "

Uncle KYY part of your news article is not accurate. Yes some of the west Malaysia based plantation companies may report lower FFB production figures in their 1st Qtr. But please do take note. Sabah planter's production may be higher vs their peers in Peninsular or Sarawak. Earnings growth for all the planter's will be higher. Due to strong CPO & Kernel average traded prices. The last 5 days we have seen all the planters have reported higher profit { not less profit} in their statutory corporate announcement

Lower production in March qtr compared to Dec qtr is due to crop seasonality . Every year is the same !

KYY, lower production due to low yield season, it’s not due to low manpower! What kind of logic this this??? Suddenly a lot of workers resign n caused lower production??? Actually u can keep ur articles to urself, it’s full of bs…

The overall sentiment for plantations are badly affected by the disappointing results of the big caps.
All my small cap and mid cap plantations show excellent Q1 2022 results :
SOP EPS 34.09sen (+146% yoy)
Bplant EPS 19.43 sen (+353% yoy for operations)
Taann EPS 23.75 sen (+155% yoy)
Swkpltn EPS 15.52 sen (+82% yoy)
MHC EPS 5.8sen (+67% yoy)
Cepat EPS 4.93sen (+172% yoy)
They put the big boys to shame !
UP EPS 14.39sen (- 20% yoy)
Simepltn EPS 10.4sen (+27% yoy)
IOI EPS 6.62sen (+3% yoy)
Stay invested in small and mid cap plantation counters. The best yet to come.

He stuck a lot in Subur , slowly turning to Kubur. need people to buy to support price. lol

It is simple logic.. prices sky rocketing is not because the oil is more valuable consumable item, it was due to lack of produced...
Lack of workers.. now labor union and those country representative demanding more and better work environment and pay rates..
Lesser willing to come back to that volatile market and hard jobs.. During Covid pandemic they being forced not to work... No money... Or hard to go back to their home countries.. Once they went back, hard to return to Malaysia... Past workers already found better jobs.. Newer generation with lack of skills and technology are reluctant to join in..
Trees getting older and taller..
