Feronia Inc. Reports Q1 2016 Results
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/30/16 -- Feronia Inc. ("Feronia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: FRN) today released its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. All amounts in this release are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Q1 2016 Highlights
Subsequent Events
Xavier de Carniere, Chief Executive Officer of Feronia Inc. commented: "The operational team achieved a smooth first quarter this year, meeting their production targets.
Low global palm oil prices and the significant amount of illegal imports of palm oil, driven by sharp currency fluctuations in countries neighboring the DRC, negatively impacted the Company over the past year. Both of these issues seem to be behind us and we see a more favourable competitive landscape ahead.
Our new boiler and turbine in Lokutu will soon be operational, which should greatly reduce our energy costs and positively impact our extraction rate. We are launching equivalent projects in our Yaligimba and Boteka plantations, with similar impacts on productivity expected towards the end of 2017.
Operationally we are entering into a virtuous circle, which should translate into progressively improved performance moving the Company along a path to achieve our long term goals. Our production volumes and efficiency should continue to increase as we improve and increase our industrial capacity, gradually freeing up additional resources to advance our ambitious social and environmental targets with the continued support of our shareholders and lenders."
