To this end, it has a 51% interest in one of the largest oil processing mills ('the Mill') based in Côte d'Ivoire, which has a capacity of 70,000 tons of Crude Palm Oil ('CPO'). Feedstock for the Mill comes from 27,000 hectares of mature palm oil plantations that have been secured under long term contracts with smallholders, however it also has nearly 1,900 hectares of its own plantations. Furthermore, it has a world-class nursery with a 1 million seedlings a year capacity. Currently, it has one off-take agreement to deliver 24,000 tonnes of CPO per annum to a local refiner and is in discussions with other potential partners.
