When I just gothrough CARS Group Oil Palm Plantation Segment performance, It gives some indicates about expecting performance from Oil Palm. As we know oil palm is major contributor in terms of revenue and assets base to CARS & BUKI Group. We know the four quoted companies Shalimar (Malay) PLC , Selinsing PLC, Indo-Malay PLC,Good Hope PLC and some unquoted companies as well, these all quoted companies and some other unlisted companies are brought under GoodHope Asia Holding incorporated in Singapore during the current group restructuring program
Look at the group structure..

First we look the current Performance with previous year.( Oil Palm Segment Only)
Year ------ 2011 ---------- 2010
Revenue---- 20,634,407 ----- 10,690,356
Operational Results ----8,589,892 ----5,022,689
Net Profit ------- 6,759,890 ----3,698,451
I don't have segment info about assets base to provide. when u see the above comparison Revenue and the bottom line are doubled comparing with previous year. This performance may be due to the impact on the palm oil price and increasing production ( I mean impact due to the maturity of the plantation)
I did further research on GoodHope Asia Holding website about the plantation, Following pricked from the website ( I am not sure about information are latest updates)
1.The Group currently manages more than 75,000 Ha comprising of areas under development and planted both immature and mature.
2.Average oil yield from our mature plantations range between 5 - 6 MT per hectare, with plantation areas with older palms recording an Oil yield between 6.5 - 7 MT.
3.oil extraction rates above 23%, which are considered to be in par with the industry average.
4. Adoption of stringent policies and practices in nursery management, plantation development and immature maintenance has resulted in the early maturing of new plantations with commercial harvesting commencing within 28-30 months from planting, whilst generating high early yields. ( I got some info about group young plants through friend of mine, Next year 60% of the young plants will be ready for the commercial harvesting, I am not sure about this info, will see the annual report operational review that whether company will discuss this info)

I am trying to get information about immature plantation nos from annual report and quarter reports. Very difficult to locate exact details. If 60% young plantation will be ready for the commercial harvesting we can expect good picture from CARS group..
Friends if u have any information pls share with me.
share ur thoughts
