First Resources sees strongest Q1 production

It reported fruit bunch production of 624,688 tonnes.

Agribusiness powerhouse First Resources reported a record-high Q1 fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production in the past quarter, thanks to the support of new mature areas.

According to UOB KayHian, First Resources reported FFB nucleus production of 624,688 tonnes in 1Q17, which was its strongest 1Q production.

The brokerage firm noted that there are 17,000ha of new areas coming into maturity in 2017.

However, the group may brace for production cuts in the second quarter of the year, due to the still lingering effects of El Niño.

Meanwhile, UOB KayHian expects FFB production to return to normal by 4Q17.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
