20 February 2019
Bisnis.com, JAKARTA - Plantation company from North Sumatra, PT Mahkota Group Tbk (MGRO) posted an increase in CPO production by 11.5% on an annual basis to 16,131 tons in January 2019.
Corporate Secretary of Mahkota Group Elvi revealed, CPO production in January 2018 was 14,455 tons and increased to 16,131 tons in January 2019. The increase in CPO production volume automatically boosted the company's profit.
In January 2018, MGRO still recorded a loss and managed to book a profit in January 2019. He hopes this positive condition will continue until the end of the year.
“In terms of net profit there was an increase, January 2018 lost IDR 670 million, and in January 2019 managed to book a profit of IDR 9.67 billion,” he told Bisnis.com, Wednesday (02/20/2019).
Mahkota Group projects sales this year to potentially reach IDR 5 trillion or increase 2.5 times from last year's target by taking a turn.
Meanwhile, the issuer's revenue target from Tanah Deli in 2018 was IDR 2 trillion. The spectacular target was set in line with the completion of the new refinery plant in June 2019.
Elvi said that the refinery plant's contribution to sales will begin in July 2019. This new plant will produce CPO derivative products such as olein or cooking oil and sterin, as raw material for margarine or oleochemicals.
According to him, to obtain higher profits, the company must create products with added value. In 2018, the profit target of the issuer coded as MGRO shares is IDR 50 billion and the target in 2019 is IDR 123 billion.
