Dekel Agri-Vision Plc (AIM: DKL), the West African agriculture company focused on building a portfolio of sustainable and diversified projects, is pleased to provide a July production update for its Ayenouan palm oil project in Côte d'Ivoire ('Palm Oil Operation').

Key Highlights

  • The Palm Oil Operation delivered another solid month with July 2024 CPO production 6.6% higher than July 2023. Year to date July 2024 CPO production remains in line with market expectations.
  • CPO sales prices continued to be historically strong at €778 per tonne. International prices continue to remain steady at approximately €900 per tonne. We also continue to see local CPO prices gradually increase towards the international price after commencing January 2024 at €737 per tonne.
  • The CPO extraction rate of 20.7% in July 2024 was 7.3% higher than July 2023. We are continuing to see higher CPO extraction rates compared to last year which is enhancing our gross margin percentage.
  • CPO sales quantities were lower in July 2024 compared to July 2023. This is purely a timing difference due to the high season in 2024 returning to a more typical peak earlier than 2023 where the peak occurred late in H1 2023.
