OVERVIEW:

 

The results for 2018 reflect a pre-tax profit of Shs 684 million compared to Shs 849 million in 2017. The lower profits are as a result of lower avocado prices achieved, due to a heavily over supplied market in Europe. Macadamia and forestry profits improved over the previous year as a result of increased production from our orchards and a rise in the demand for wood products. Earnings per share was Shs 24.57 in 2018 compared to Shs 30.19 in 2017.

 

DIVIDEND:

The Directors recommend the payment of a first and final dividend for the financial year 2018 of Shs 9.00 per ordinary share (2017: Shs 7.00) subject to shareholders' approval. The dividend shall be paid on or about 30 June 2019 to the shareholders on the members' register at the close of business on Friday, 31 May 2019.

 

 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING:

The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Tuesday 14 May 2019 at 12.00 Noon at Nairobi Serena Hotel.
