Golden Agri-Resources pestered by dismal plantation yields

The said division failed to maintain a solid sales volume.

It was not a good quarter for Golden Agri-Resources given its disheartening 44.6% slump in net profit for the past quarter.

According to UOB Kay Hian, the lacklustre performance of the agri-group was due to its plantation and oilseeds divisions.

"The plantation division’s earnings were impacted by lower sales volume," analyst Leow Huey Chuen noted.

The segment's total sales volume went down 17.2%.

Meanwhile, the oilseeds division’s earnings before taxes, fell 7.7% QoQ due to a weaker margin of US$6.5/tonne in 2Q17 vs US 7.2/tonne in 1Q17.

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.
