The 2 month incentive totalling 48 million. This is equivalent to RM 1 incentive to each kg produced for domestic retail sugar sold at RM2.85/kg.
Effectively, with gov incentive MSM ‘sold’ sugar at 2.85 + 1 = RM3.85 per kg in Nov and Dec for 24,000 tonnes as per their commitment volume.
Which means, if it is not because of unsustainable illogical low sugar price set by government, MSM can make significant profit.
If government approve the price hike at 3.85 as requested by MSM, we can expect MSM to record roughly about 70 million per quarter @ EPS of 10 sen per share. At RM 3.85 it is still one of the cheapest price in the region, maybe after Thailand which is a sugar producing nation. Doesnt make sense at all that the price is cheaper than Thailand like it is today.
KUALA LUMPUR (March 17): The government will announce several new approaches next week that would benefit Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) settlers, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He is also determined to implement immediate changes to Felda, especially regarding the net income of Felda settlers, so that they could get out of the hardcore poverty group.
“There are several approaches that I will announce from time to time... the latest is next week,” he told Bernama in a special interview, in conjunction with the Bumiputera Economic Congress 2024 recently.
Regarding Felda's declining performance, as reported in the Auditor General's Report (LKAN) 2022, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said that the responsibility of restoring the federal agency will be seen in the aspect of settlers and companies under Felda.
“LKAN reports that Felda's financial position has deteriorated greatly; this audit report is for the 2022 financial year, which means that it is not under the current government. It is not a blame game and I don’t want to blame the other party.
“The responsibility to restore Felda is not seen in terms of Felda's production, (but) the focus must be on the settlers. Secondly, we should look at companies under Felda, such as FGV Holdings (Bhd) and MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd,” he said.
