Drawbacks
* Sugar categorised as controlled items in Malaysia, therefore low margin for local sales
* local sales consist of 61%
* Net debt company
* No dividend
* Suffered losses for few years due to high depreciation and impairment and irregularities of accounting losses
Comment
Expect the company to turnaround on FY21. The company fell from RM5 during FY2016 to as low as RM0.23 during March 2020. Felda new appointed director to turnaround the company. With recent weak USD, stronger RM able to offset the price of sugar material.
