Will First Resources be able to sustain the recovery in its fresh fruit bunch yields?

It full-year FFB output moderated to a 6.4% decline.

Agribusiness First Resources saw a decent recovery in it fresh fruit bunch yields in 4Q16, easing its 14% decline in output during 9M16 to only 6.4% for the whole year.

According to RHB, First Resources would be able to grow its FFB output by 8.3% going into this year, as productivity returns to normal.

"Going forward, we expect First Resources’ FFB growth to return to normal from FY17, as its trees fully recover from the El Nino impact," RHB noted.

It added, "We expect the company to register FFB growth of 5-10% pa for FY17-18, as there is not much contribution from new areas coming into maturity over the next few years."

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.
