@Mikecyc haha why only comparatively small plantations is Green but the Big Plantations is Red ... 01/10/2020 9:47 AM
Yes..First TOPGLOV now FGV. From the report, FGV is aware of the issues. They have started to address the issues since Aug 2019. FGV issued a statement over the weekend outlining its commitment to human rights, including steps it was taking to make sure its workers have access to their passports and wages.
Ironically we are still hit. Why target Malaysia? Maybe they thought can bully Malaysian for being too friendly with China. In their country, Muslims are terrorists but in other countries they try to act saviour to all Muslims. US says it will block palm oil from large Malaysian producer. The impact is huge. It impacts not only the volume FGV export to US. FGV also selling to other palm oil companies like Sime Darby, IOI, KLK etc. This may result in other companies forced to suspend buying from FGV. Even many companies in China or India are owned by US companies and may suspend buying too.
However in the latest updates...

CBP said it was not able to share total imports by FGV but that the ban "will not have a significant impact on total U.S. imports of palm oil and palm oil products."
There have been $147 billion worth of U.S. imports of palm oil products since August 2018, CBP said in an e-mail.
UnQuote
CPO >RM 2700 not FGV benefits? Why down? Why CPO up even US ban? CPO imports not from US?
Moral of the story is USA wants to protect its Corn and Seeds Oil industries.
So just like TG, this is a temporary set back and FGV need to respond fast like TS Lim of TG did..
There are several risks factors on any Plantation earnings estimates, price target and rating. Key risks to the palm oil sector are:
(i) weather anomalies resulting in poorer-than-expected output growth -Let's hope for a good weather the next coming 3 months.
(ii) lower than-expected CPO price achieved – On Target and currently CPO is still Up trending
(iii) negative policies imposed by import countries – Positive. The exemption of CPO export duty by the government of Malaysia till Dec 2020 will be positive for CPO exports (especially to India) and will help support CPO price which is expected to be under pressure in 3Q20 due to the anticipated stockpile build-up amid seasonal production recovery. Negative in US for FGV right now. It should not affect other company shipments.
(iv) unfriendly policies imposed by the Malaysian and Indonesian government on upstream or downstream segments – Already factored on India’s move to restrict the importation of refined palm oil*. This will result in quicker build-up of MPOB stockpile when output recovers from 2Q20, and cap CPO price upside
(v) sharply lower crude oil prices which makes palm biodiesel demand not viable – Brent has already breached USD 40
(vi) weaker competing oil prices (like soybean and rapeseed- On Target. Alternative Oil Prices is on the rise which make Palm Oil very attractive.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
