I think Rhone Ma's main business will always be in animal health. Their forte is in animal husbandary. They treat milk production as a by-product of their R&D and currently sells their milk off-farm. Kulim will later conveniently take their milk off them. With the government's encouragement, practically every state is setting up large cattle farms and when they encounter problems, which they will, who will they look for ? Rhone Ma of course!
2021 - Rhone Ma planned to increase its cattle herd to 350 head by the end of 2021, raising its monthly milk production from 30,000 L/ month to approximately 65,000 L. - GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices at Nilai Utama Enterprise Park) commenced operations in April 2021 is running at more than 35 per cent capacity.
2022 - By end-2022, the Group?s target is to produce 120,000 L of milk per month.
2023 - New GMP in Nilai target to achieve 100% by 2023 - estimated to increase annual production capacity by 4x (2,500 tonnes, existing plant in PJ produce only 637 tonnes per annum)
2025 - Rhone Ma hopes to build the plant with a capacity of 14.4 million litres per year in Kapar, Selangor by the third quarter of 2025.
Note - Rhone Ma Holdings Bhd via its subsidiary A2 Fresh Sdn Bhd, has entered into a joint venture agreement with Kulim (Malaysia) Bhd to develop, operate and manage a potential dairy project. The initial investment required for the project will be up to RM41.4m, which will be funded through equity in the form of subscription of shares by the shareholders in proportion to their shareholding ratio in the special purpose vehicle company. - In this JV, Kulim owns 65% shares, while A2 Fresh S/B holds 35% shares. Since A2 Fresh S/B is 49% owned, Rhonema will have just 17.15% share in this dairy project. - A1 protein is even linked to diabetes, heart disease, sudden infant death syndrome and autism etc. However, those links are not confirmed. A2 milk is marketed as a healthier choice without such troublesome issues. It's reported that Rhonema is the first producer offering fresh A2 milk in Peninsular Malaysia. - Kulim is a well-known plantation giant which was taken private and delisted from main board in 2016. It's a subsidiary of Johor Corporation. Johor Corp owns famous brands such as KPJ, KFC, Pizza Hut, Ayamas, Life etc.
Guys, seriously subscribe to Farm Fresh IPO. Make short-term profits and then pump your profits into Rhone-ma. Then hold for 3 years. Guarantee you can afford down-payment on new house.
Rhone-ma is a sleeping giant. 1000x better than FFB. Farm Fresh is going to tank after IPO. I have never seen an IPO survive such high valuation except Mr DIY and Public Bank all the banks

Good company but not good operator , boss don’t want to play his counter.. so obvious blocking the share price from moving up… to those who are not in yet, go find better operators with more commitment , those already in, just forget about it, rhonema won’t move anytime soon… cheers..
There is no such thing as operator Only buy-side institutions, foreign institution, insiders, substantial shareholders, market-makers, wealthy clients (sophisticated), and retail investors. Quit obsessing on the concept of "operator"
