Not been invested here for some time but interested by appointment of a new chairman ? Why the change ? And whatever happened to Bug Oil ?
Morning Riddler. Posted another one on your 2011 ISA board. Interested in your opinion on these.
Food for Thought A special report from James Faulkner of WatsHot.com Plant Impact (PIM) With population growth and the loss of arable land (to urbanisation and misguided enterprises such as biofuels) putting ever greater strain on arable land per capita, the need for fertilizers and agrochemical products to improve crop yields per hectare is critical. However, the consumer is becoming increasingly sensitive to how food is produced and which chemicals are used in its production. Here is where Plant Impact comes in. Plant Impact is engaged in the development, production, distribution and sale of natural, ecologically sound fertilizer and agrochemical products. Its products are based on 'patentable cocktails' of natural plant extracts and environmentally benign compounds. INCA is a calcium absorption aid that targets calcium nutrition in plants developed by Plant Impact from the firm's patented CaT technology and was recently shortlisted for 'Technical Product of the Year' at the grower of the year awards. In trials, CaT was 50 times more effective than traditional calcium delivery products, with fewer applications and less input. Proven worldwide on a range of crops, CaT is selling in 24 countries. Meanwhile, PiNT technology introduces nitrogen into the soil in liquid form, which is attracted to the negatively charged soil particles and so resists being leached out by water. PINT stimulates accelerated root production and increased root branching, which results in healthier, and critically higher yielding plants. In June 2010 Plant Impact announced a 10-year distribution agreement for its crop nutrient product CaT with Arysta Mexico, a subsidiary of the major agro-chem company. This is in addition to a deal already signed with Arysta for the distribution of lead pesticide product BugOil. The company is also in advanced negotiations for similar distribution agreements with Arysta subsidiaries for its CaT and PiNT technologies. Further distribution deals could send the shares higher in 2011.

It was the fundraising at 15p last year that is limiting the rise of this share. There appears to be no shortage of sellers.
First post but good news it would seem: http://www.stockopedia.co.uk/research/partners-for-growth-52943/
trying to clear any overhang
Yes - downwards!
I first bought PIM @ 25p in 2009 and watched them hit 36p before going right back to 25p and then much lower. Convinced they were incredibly undervalued I stocked up and for most of 2010 they were my largest holding until I thought about the opportunity cost of sitting on a share which no one else was interested in. So I reduced my holding from 45,000 to 11,000 shares and in the meantime have made the released funds work a lot harder. But I still think PIM has a fantastic future particularly if a larger company shares my opinion and takes them over. The same can be said for KIO who are also unbelievably under-rated.
Trading at top and bottom of a very wide spread all week. Interesting.

There's the answer to who the big seller has been. Better hope they don't intend offloading all their holding. Have they got a new fund manager?
oh I see! You may still be right (in 2011 or 2012)! Encoraged by market yesterday/today, I had a slide in mind.
got you confused - ii 18.11.10 "Bugoil in decemeber me finks !!"
I'm in here too at 24p. Bought just before the RNS and saw it fall to 17p. Have to say it recovered well by the end of the day. After reading the notes I am confident with my investment but think we will have to wait for sales before any significant increases. As all of the groundwork has been done regarding product distribution once sales commence they should take of very quickly. ATB.
Disappointing news about the bug oil approvals. Am I on my own here? So much for your prediction about it coming before christmas, riddler!
Thanks riddler. I was thinking more of the interims - and hoping for some better sales figures/reduction in losses (better still, both)!. The Hardman report suggests £2.2m cash burn?? I think the bugoil approval is a shoe-in (and prob factored in already)
Interesting stuff here from Hardman (the paid for research company). Note the small print on the back page - "It is not intended to be made available to unsophisticated individuals." That must count most of us out then! http://www.hardmanandco.com/Research/Plant%20Technologies%20Nov10.pdf
Trading both ends of a narrower spread. Not sure if we have seen the end of the seller yet? Figures must be due very soon, anybody any idea of date?
people are selling. this company has got BOOM written all over it. easily #100m market cap in 2-3 years
Jan de Laat, Commercial Manager of Cebeco, said: "We are facing a huge challenge to produce more and improve quality of crops, Plant Impact can contribute towards addressing those challenges this. We are pleased to be working in close cooperation with Plant Impact both commercially and in field development programmes. The product range offered by Plant Impact offers the solutions Cebeco have been looking for for many years. This distribution and evaluation agreement provides us with an excellent opportunity to develop better ways to produce more crops and improve results for farmers." Peter Blezard, CEO of Plant Impact, commented: "We are delighted to announce this agreement with Cebeco. Plant Impact and Cebeco have developed a close working relationship developing field trial programmes, sharing data and resource. We believe that the Dutch market is key to Plant Impact both commercially and technically and having a partner like Cebeco will ensure maximum market potential."
RNS Number : 2881W Plant Impact PLC 17 November 2010 Plant Impact and Cebeco Meststoffen BV sign distribution and evaluation agreement Plant Impact plc (AIM: PIM) ("Plant Impact" or the "Company"), which develops and markets ecologically friendly crop nutrition and protection products, is pleased to announce it has signed a distribution and evaluation agreement (the "Agreement") with Cebeco Meststoffen BV ("Cebeco") covering the Company's InCa, PiNT Ca, PiNT K and Alethea K products (the "Crop Nutrient Products"). The Agreement grants Cebeco exclusive distribution rights for certain market segments (excluding golf courses and home and garden) in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg. The Agreement also gives Cebeco non-exclusive evaluation rights for Germany. The Agreement is a result of a significant field trial development programme undertaken by Cebeco over a 24 month period. Cebeco have conducted more than 40 research standard field trials at independent centres in the Netherlands and Germany on various crops including potatoes, sugar beet, onions, carrots, apples and cherries. In addition to these official independent trials, Cebeco have conducted numerous demonstrations trials with growers. During the early part of the field trial programme, Cebeco focused on the fruit and vegetable market but more recently they have placed increased importance on field trials of potatoes. With more than 470,000 hectares of potato crops in the Benelux countries and Germany, the directors of Plant Impact believe that the potential for Plant Impact's products is promising. The first batch of potato field trials conducted in 2010 have demonstrated encouraging efficacy results and the trial programme for 2011 will cover high value crops, including potatoes, sugar beet and grapes. There are currently over 50 research standard trials planned by Plant Impact and Cebeco as part of their joint development programme. Dutch agriculture and horticulture is one of the most technically advanced in the world. The farmers are highly skilled, the cultivation methods are cutting edge and average yields are amongst the highest in the world. These factors combined with open international trade structures make Dutch agriculture a portal to the rest of the world. Proven innovations in the Netherlands are often adopted by farmers worldwide.
