Dekel Agri-Vision PLC on Wednesday announced lower production amid an earlier low season in August, while it is confident of ‘building momentum’ into the fourth quarter of 2025. The West Africa-focused agricultural company firm said processed fresh fruit bunch production fell 52% to 4,035 tonnes in August from 8,454 tonnes a year ago. Crude palm oil output was down 52% to 783 tonnes from 1,621 tonnes. The company said the low season arrived earlier than last year, leading to lower production. The average CPO price per tonne was up 23% to €956 from €780. Executive Director Lincoln Moore said: ‘While August reflected the early arrival of the low season, strong CPO and PKO prices continue to underpin performance of the palm oil operation in 2025. The cashew operation once again delivered record monthly output. With new processing capacity set to come online during October, we are confident in building momentum into Q4 and remain on track to deliver our first earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation-positive year from the cashew operation.’ Dekel-Agri shares fell 8.0% to 0.51 pence each on Wednesday afternoon in London.
