Agm statement and sale of Malaysian estate


At  the annual general meeting held in London today, all of the resolutions,  as
set  out  in  the  notice  of  meeting dated  18  May  2005,  were  approved  by
shareholders and the chairman, Richard Robinow, made the following statement:

"Since   our  preliminary  results,  we  have  made  further  progress   towards
implementing  our  strategy and I am pleased to announce the sale  of  our  195-
hectare   Lendu  Estate,  located  near  Melaka,  Malaysia,  for  RM26   million
(equivalent to approximately £3.76 million at the current rate of exchange). The
sale  is  conditional  on the approvals of the Foreign Investment  Committee  of
Malaysia  and  the Estate Land Board, which are expected to be  received  within
some  nine  months.  The sale proceeds will be applied to  the  funding  of  the
existing and proposed new Indonesian oil palm investments.

A  good  start has been made to the new 12,000-hectare project on Bangka Island,
Indonesia,  with  almost 300,000 seedlings now established in the  nursery.  The
search  continues for a further 30,000 to 40,000 hectares of suitable  land  for
oil  palm  development and a couple of sites in Kalimantan are  currently  under
review.

Although  crude palm oil prices are down compared to the same period last  year,
at  the current price (approximately US$ 400 per tonne), efficient producers are
still able to produce healthy returns, particularly in Indonesia where costs are
comparatively low. Cattle prices in Australia have picked up recently  following
some  welcome rains. As a result, the board continues to be confident about  the
prospects, both short and long term, for Indonesian palm oil and Australian beef
cattle."
