M.P. Evans Group PLC
M.P. Evans Group PLC (incorporated in England & Wales) is listed on AIM. The Group's assets consist of oil-palm plantations (both majority and minority held) in Indonesia and Malaysia, the latter with property-development value, and beef-cattle interests in Australia. It is the board's intention to increase its total Indonesian areas under oil palm to some 70,000 hectares of environmentally-sustainable oil palm. This, in turn, will ultimately lead to an increase in the Group's equivalent annual palm-oil production from the current 60,000 tonnes to around 400,000 tonnes. Demand for palm oil is strong in its traditional use as a food, and additionally as a feedstock for the bio-fuel industry. In addition to the expansion in Indonesia, the board's policy is to expand the Group's Australian beef-cattle interests so that, ultimately, approximately 70% of the Group's assets will be in Indonesian oil-palm plantations and 30% in Australian beef cattle.
