of the rising costs of production.

demand for palm oil products and increase in sales volume.

p.a over the next few years. CPO prices remain volatile Profits may not match that of previous year if current prices

remain.

Waste management & utilities Continue to explore project opportunities both locally and

overseas. Profit may not match last year’s performance in view of fewer

projects.

completed and sold.
