Sarawak Oil Palms Berhad is a Malaysia-based company engaged in the cultivation of oil palms and the operations of palm oil mills in Malaysia.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company planted a total of 54,252 hectares of oil palms, of which 31,766 hectares were mature and 22,486 hectares were immature. In 2009, the Company produced 663,50 tons, 225,056 tons, 45,562 tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernels, respectively.
In August 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of SOP Properties Sdn Bhd., which owned 11.454 hectares of land in Miri for property development.
Shayne Heffernan has upgraded the 2011 growth target for Palm Oil.
So far Palm oil has rallied strongly this year, headed for its second straight annual advance, on optimism that rising demand in China may strain global supplies curbed by rain and drought in producing nations.
Global demand for eight vegetable oils will exceed output for the first time in eight years in 2010- 2011 and China’s import reliance is at “an alarming level,” Oil World said in a Nov. 19 report.
Heavy rains caused by a La Nina weather event have reduced oil-palm yields in Indonesia and Malaysia, the top producers.
La Nina has also caused drought that curbed South American planting of soybeans, the rival edible oil, threatening global edible oil supplies and driving prices higher.
Malaysia’s production dropped 1 percent to 14.3 million tons in the first 10 months of the year, according to data from the nation’s palm oil board.
February-delivery futures rose as much as 1.3 percent to 3,640 ringgit, a 29-month high, and traded at 3,617 ringgit at 12:13 p.m. on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
China, the biggest user of commodities, has pledged to control prices by cracking down on the use of bank credit to speculate in agricultural markets and by selling soybeans and vegetable oil from state reserves.
The biggest buyer of soybeans is expected to import 57 million tons in the year from Oct. 1, up 13 percent from a year ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture data show.
Imports may exceed 14.2 million tons from October through December, up 4 million tons from a year earlier, Oil World said this week. |
