We expect volumes to increase in 2021. Our focus will be to expand our existing customer base. The external environment this year has clearly shown how unpredictable events can and do occur, emphasising the importance of a sound business base, flexible thinking and understanding the things we can control.

  • Australia: Select Harvests to Make Landmark Acquisitions
    After announcing a record profit for the 2014 financial year, Australian almond company Select Harvests Limited (ASX: SHV) has announced a AUD$63 million (US$59 million) acquisition of three properties that will help support an expected doubling of production capacity by 2018. Managing director Paul Thompson said the move followed a decision three years ago to control more almond acreage to expose the company to the crop's positive market fundamentals, while also diversifying cultivation further south to mitigate disease, pest and climate threats. "Today I'd like to announce the acquisition of three additional properties - two of them operating orchards and a third a greenfield property," Thompson said. "We've done extensive due diligence on these properties using our own internal teams and external, independent experts. "As they are currently operating orchards, we benefit from increased volumes, increasing our exposure to the current dynamic of the almond industry, plus the processing volumes will be put through our Carina West processing facility with no overhead increase." The acquisitions are set to be completed in September, with the Amaroo orchard the largest by far with 2,046 acres, compared to 435 acres on the Grewal property. Combined, these two properties will bring SHV 2,865 acres worth of plantable land, bolstered by 1,600 plantable acres from the greenfield property Mendook; the transaction is already complete for the latter. Included in the total sum is an AUD$11.2 million (US$10.4 million) investment in 6,215 megaliters in high security water entitlements. Thompson described the properties as "the platform for growth that's been missing from our existing strategy".
