(the "Group"))
Summer Orange Crop
Asian Citrus announces that the Group has concluded negotiations
on the pricing with its customers for the forthcoming summer orange
crop.
Based on the recently signed supply agreements, the Group will
supply a total of approximately 16,370 tonnes of summer oranges
from Hepu Plantation, representing a decrease of approximately
14.4% in comparison to the production output of 19,132 tonnes in
the same period last year. The production yield of the summer
orange crop from Hepu Plantation has been affected by variable
weather and persistent rainfall in the latter 2015 and early
2016.
However, based on the current information, it is anticipated
that the average selling price of the summer orange crop will show
an increase of approximately 3.9% compared to the prior year.
The board of directors of the Company believes that the decrease
in production volume of the summer crop and the other key factors
affecting the financial performance of the Group, as previously
announced in the Company's interim results announcement on 26
February 2016, will continue to adversely influence the performance
of the Group's agricultural produce operations.
