When you take into account the investments we are making in the hubs and warehouse facilities the trading business should be growing exponentially.

That is great that they are presenting on the 7th Nov (next Thurs) to get the story out their and promote the business and investment case. Hopefully we may receive an updated company presentation and further news on the back of this.

I am wondering if we will receive the results next week before the company presentation.

Cocoa is really hot at the moment...wonder if we are doing much trading ? That would help boost short term profits.

[m1das_touch] 31/10/2013 22:24

I guess results should be out soon - 12 Nov last year.

Agriterra to present on Thursday 7th November 2013 From 6.00pm, Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel, 35 Charles Street, Mayfair, W1J 5EB.

Dear xxxxxx,

We are kicking off our November forums with a fantastic line-up on the 7th November.

The Chesterfield Hotel will be a hub of investor excitement as Proactiveinvestors brings three gold exploration companies all working in different corners of the world and the fourth company joining us, remains on just the top few metres – making its money from the land it has a portfolio of interests including cattle, maize, cocoa, fruit and palm oil operations in Africa.

Shifting continents again, and moving away from the mining sector, we have Agriterra, a pan-African agricultural company focused on beef, cocoa and maize production. Mozbife is its vertically integrated cattle ranching and feed-lot production business that is developing into a "field to fork" producer, while Tropical Farms Limited is its cocoa company based in Sierra Leone.

Full biographies below.

Please join us at 5:45pm to get yourself a seat and to allow for a prompt 6:00pm start. Each company has approximately 30 minutes to give a short presentation and for Q&A. Followed by the 'Champagne Raffle' where 6 lucky guests will win a bottle each.

The evening will end with a complimentary bar and an assortment of the finest hot & cold canapes, giving you the opportunity to speak with the directors and other investors.

Agriterra Company logo Shifting continents again, and moving away from the mining sector, we have Agriterra (LON:AGTA) , a pan-African agricultural company focused on beef, cocoa and maize production.

Mozbife is its vertically integrated cattle ranching and feed-lot production business that is developing into a "field to fork" producer, while Tropical Farms Limited is its cocoa company based in Sierra Leone.

In Mozambique, Agriterra has two maize operations: DECA, based in Chimoio in the Manica province, and Compagri, which was established in May 2009 in Tete, 400km to the north of Chimoio, as a second agricultural buying and processing facility in Mozambique.

Finally, the company is looking to expand its portfolio of agricultural products through the addition of palm oil, through the acquisition of Shawford Investments, which owns some 45,000 hectares of brownfield agricultural land in an area suitable for palm oil production in the Pujehun District in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone.

somethings up spread closed to almost nothing

[jimmy12345] 22/10/2013 17:24

Nice to see some upward movement

[the count of monte_cristo] 22/10/2013 17:21

To be honest we did reach 2.6p a few weeks ago, once it hit that level I think a bit of profit taking kicked in which rolled into a gradual decline.

[swooped] 22/10/2013 15:45

Securely past the 76.4% fib @ 2.2p which now be a support line, next resistance 2.62 61.8% fib. Also just had a cross with the 50sma crossing above the 100sma, always a bulish momentum, add to that the 14 RSI and the accumulation distribution rising heavily with the with the 14 adx dropping, every sign indeed is extremely bullish. Lovely

[m1das_touch] 22/10/2013 15:32

Good to see a lower low on the daily chart too - suggests the down-trend might be reversing.

[gerri-c] 22/10/2013 15:09

I haven't seen this level of interest for some while but did manage to top up again just before the rise. I just hope that there is something substantive driving this rise.

[swooped] 22/10/2013 14:35

just ticked up to 15% up

[the count of monte_cristo] 22/10/2013 14:04

Better day today, hopefully we will maintain the gain when the market closes and the mms have tallied up and balanced out the days buys and sells.

[swooped] 22/10/2013 09:48

lol and just as I say that someone buys 800,000 shares, nice

[swooped] 22/10/2013 08:52

Well with a 13% spread the MM's seem to have put a block to trading here, they are not exactly doing there job in making a market!

[the count of monte_cristo] 18/10/2013 10:22

Hi Swooped, I agree. I would be buying more but a) currently all funds invested and b) I probably already have too many for the moment. Hoping to add again though between now and year end.

[swooped] 18/10/2013 10:05

Hi Count, I guess the way to look at these thing are, if you would have bought in at 3pence or even above that and the fundementals have not worsened, in fact they tend to be getting better, in which case why would you not buy at 2p, I see the dips as a chance to build up a stake
