Crude palm oil (CPO) prices are expected to remain steady for the first quarter of 2023 on the back of continued strong
demand due to the considerable price advantage when compared to alternative oils and supply concerns resulting from
Indonesia’s anticipated higher biodiesel mandate as well as tighter export policies.
As the country’s labour shortage continues to be addressed with the arrival of more foreign workers into Malaysia,
particularly harvesters, the Group expects its Fresh Fruit Bunch (“FFB”) production in Malaysia to improve in 2023 after a
challenging two years.

However, demand may be impacted by the global economic outlook which remains wary, because of continuing geopolitical
uncertainties, stricter ESG policies, and inflationary pressures from high food and energy prices. Nevertheless, the Group is
cautiously optimistic mainly due to its well-established strategies to address ESG issues, and ongoing efforts to mitigate such
challenges. The Group has also ramped up operational improvement initiatives to plug any leakages and reduce wastage.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects to perform satisfactorily in FY2023.
