Of course I am pleased with the rise in price of both palm oil and MPE.
What I disputed was how much credit should given to management.

I was disappointed. The management don't seem to have done much of a job.
Group operating Profit was down from £4m to only £2.6m. They were only saved by better results from associates and exceptional disposals. This is despite palm oil prices rising from $450 to $700 per tonne. To make a currency loss when practically everyone saw the USD falling wasn't very clever either.

Great results, despite the dollar weakness.
Well done to Richard and his team.
Good one to hold, or buy if you're not in already.

"..............with your somewhat pessimistic view of this solid, well established company."

Oh Monkey dear, I have held for many years and still hold.

I have share certs for Beradin, Bertam and the other two brothers that were listed pre the birth of MPE

Its all been fine, I'm not a seller.

If you want to help, try to make it rain on them in Oz !

Be Lucky


edit for Woracle :

"but how many of them can increase prices by 50% to offset that."
Sorry to have to tell you that the market sets the price and not MPE.
There will be good years and bad years.

I hope you are lucky too

Perhaps all three of us should go over to Oz and do a rain dance ?

Second edit ( it never rains but it pours )

A thread on OZ weather mostly from guys who earn their living by sitting at the pointy end of airplanes

pcuser, your simplistic argument would apply to all british companies who are $ earners ( or currencies pegged to $ )...which is probably more than 70% on the LSE I would guess...but how many of them can increase prices by 50% to offset that. Nuf said..

pcuser,
It would appear I am not alone in disagreeing with your
somewhat pessimistic view of this solid, well established company.

Been in AEP for quite a while, but jumped on board here too... lots more growth left here for years to come as their new palm estates mature..The rise in GBP aint good but from 1.95 ( 2006 average ) to 2.10 ( say 2007 average ) is only 7.6%. In contrast, CPO prices averaged 479 in 2006. In 2007, we are averaging about 650 so far ? 35% increase... Even if prices stay at only 730 as of today, we will average about 700 for 2007. So a 7% currency hit isnt gonna be the end of the world when we have a 46% gain in prices !

MP Evans Should Benefit From Shrewd Switch To Indonesian Palm Oil Plantations.

By Sally White

What a transformation in AIM listed plantation group MP Evans' outlook on life – the 130-year old is sounding spry indeed with phrases such as "robust", "buoyant" and "great confidence" scattered all over its 2006 interim statement. Palm oil is its secret. At a time when more and more countries are looking to set mandatory biofuels targets in their strategies of changing the energy mix – last month the EU became the latest – having interests in 35,000 producing hectares of palms has made AIM-quoted MP Evans very popular indeed. .. more

That Was The Week That Was ... In Soft Commodities

By Sally White

Speculative interest in commodities has definitely slowed, according to US investment bank Morgan Stanley, with net inflows to commodity-linked mutual funds totalling US$107million so far this year, against US$3.8 billion for the same time of 2005. However, with the International Monetary Fund's latest commodity study showing that speculative positions follow commodity price movements, not the other way around, there is still potential running in a number of the soft commodities with a fundamental supply shortage. ... more ....

That Was The Week That Was ... In Soft Commodities

By Sally White

Suddenly every country seems to be announcing woes with their wheat harvests. Prices been rising at the fastest monthly rates for seven years as India abandons import barriers to feed its growing population and first too little and then too much rain takes a toll across crops in Eurasia, the Pacific and North America.

While the supply/demand numbers would not scare a metals trader, a four per cent drop in the International Grain Council's forecast for this crop year of 593 million tonnes makes it the smallest for three years. The estimated 15 per cent drop in stocks to 117 million tonnes gives also gives a historically low number, encouraging forecasts of more price rises to come. .. more
