Felda director-general Datuk Dr Othman Omar has previously stated that the amount of debts mutually agreed to between Felda and the settlers stood at RM5.5 billion to date, while another RM2 billion has yet to be finalised. (The debts were incurred as a result of loans taken by settlers from Felda, mostly for replanting, housing and other purposes.)
"FGV has exceeded internal targets and is on track to achieve its 2019 key performance indicators," FGV’s group chief executive officer Dato’ Haris Fadzilah Hassan said, in a statement today.
KUALA LUMPUR: FGV Holdings Bhd has produced a total of 1.06 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from its 23 regions for the first quarter of this year, 6.6 per cent more than 990,845 tonnes, a year ago.
The Group’s 68 mills processed 3.67 million tonnes of FFB, 8.3 per cent more than 3.39 million tonnes processed in 2018.
Oil extraction rate (OER) for the three months in review improved to 20.76 per cent from 19.75 per cent.
FGV produced a total of 761,832 tonnes of crude palm oil in the first quarter of this year, 13.8 per cent more than 669,534 tonnes, previously.
"FGV has exceeded internal targets and is on track to achieve its 2019 key performance indicators," FGV’s group chief executive officer Dato’ Haris Fadzilah Hassan said, in a statement today.
For the period in review, the group’s key operational performance indicators showed improvement, beating internal targets that were benchmarked against the industry, while taking into account site yield potential and the time required to rehabilitate its estates.
The better operational results can be attributed to several changes that have been made to improve performance, including plantation management and crop evacuation methods.
“As we move into the next phase of our Transformation Plan, we expect FGV’s operational performance to regularise further,” Haris Fadzilah said.
He added that all the Group’s replanting efforts were on track and 17,250ha of old estates would be replanted in this financial year.
"Good morning. "@Dawneagle. Kwap bought at high price during BN's era now sold at low price, is a loss not pairing down losses. Moreover, Quite substantial share sold, then who bought their shares.

White paper is to save felda n that is the clear messgae given. Fgv is a listed Co n is not the govt concerned as it is ruled by Bursa rulex.
2 qustions to be answered : for felda to survive must take back their land as fgv do not know what is planting all about, just steal money n that is their profession.
For sure fgv have to be privatised. Fgv have to sell all their assets n felda also have to sell some of their assets to fund money for privatisation
SEREMBAN (April 8): The tabling of a White Paper on the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) in Parliament on Wednesday will, among others, propose a new business model for the management of Felda farms and guaranteed welfare aid for the settlers.
Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said a draft of the White Paper had been tabled at the Cabinet meeting last Friday.
“The discussion was not just to review the financial crunch faced by Felda, but also steps to be taken to ensure the future of the settlers,” he told reporters after attending the Pakatan Harapan talks here today in conjunction with the April 13 Rantau State by-election.
Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president, said the White Paper was important to reveal the actual financial situation in Felda, based on forensic audit conducted by an independent professional auditing firm.
He said the settlers needed to know that the previous management of Felda was insincere, irresponsible and veered far away from the original objective of its formation.
Meanwhile, in another development, Azmin questioned the move by Umno Youth in demanding the Government to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate allegations and wrongdoings in the management of Tabung Haji when the problem actually cropped up during Barisan Nasional’s reign.
“Misappropriation of funds in Tabung Haji was admonished by Bank Negara before this...Why didn’t UMNO Youth make noise and demand the setting up of the RCI then?” he said.

Apart from unveiling Felda's financial standing, the much-anticipated White Paper, will, among others, focus on strategic rehabilitation plans with 31 initiatives as part of a transformation scheme, along with a turnaround plan that includes the sale of its properties
Felda chairman Tan Sri Megat Zaharuddin who was appointed in July last year, had earlier revealed severe cashflow problems at the state agency, forcing Felda to
(I) restructure its RM8 billion debt and (ii) dispose of its non-strategic assets worth RM2.2 billion.
He said the revamp strategy will include the restructuring of bank loans and disposal of some of the agency’s non-strategic assets — namely properties in London, Sabah and Sarawak.
These strategies are said to enable Felda to stabilise its cashflow in the next two years.
FELDA and its 33.67% unit FGV Holdings Bhd (formerly known as Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd) that the government had to step in
As at end-September 2018, FGV had deposits, cash and bank balances of RM1.48 billion, and total borrowings of RM4.2 billion.
2017 Auditor-General’s Report said FELDA and the group had institutional borrowings of RM7.8 billion and RM12.14 billion respectively.
A takeover offer is not palatable at current prices given that FGV was listed at RM4.55 a share four years ago. Shareholders and especially Felda’s settlers would expect fair compensation given the underperformance of FGV’s shares since listing,” said an analyst
FGV kena bayar FELDA RM250 juta setiap tahun serta 15% dari keuntungan tahunan FGV untuk menyewa tanah ini. Oleh itu, FELDA bukan diswastakan
