Total 2014 Production
H1 2015
On track to significantly increase palm oil production in 2015 to over 30,000tn, the Mill’s first full year of operations
Excellent Location
Existing • Smallholder relationships • c.1,900 ha company plantations • 60t/h mill • 1M plants nursery
Expansion Plan • 24,000 ha for plantations • 60t/h mill • New nursery (subject to funding)
Advantageous location and existing infrastructure
Existing operations are located in Ayanouan, 2hrs from Abidjan’s port
Expansion land is located in Guitry, 4hrs from Abidjan’s port
Good road links to the port and to Ghana
Strategy
Immediate 1-2 Years
• Construct a palm kernel oil crushing facility by Q4 2015 • Develop a further 3,000 to 5,000 ha of company plantations in close proximity to the first mill and increase yields of smallholders’ plantations
• Commence operations at 24,000ha Guitry including new nursery and 1,000ha of estates
Medium – Long Term 2-5 Years
• Finalise first land acquisition in Ghana of 10,000ha
• Expand planting at Guitry and construct second 60tphr palm oil mill
• Commence first nursery and pilot planting in Ghana • Review new projects in Cote d’Ivoire and bordering countries
To rapidly increase production from the first project and fast track development of Guitry project
Market Opportunity Corporate Activity •
International palm oil majors currently entering or expanding in West Africa to address lack of land in Malaysia and Indonesia
•
World’s three largest palm oil companies; Wilmar, Sime Darby and Golden Agri have entered West Africa
•
Dec 2013 - KLK, one of the leading global plantation companies, has acquired a 63% interest in Liberian-based Equatorial Palm Oil at a significant premium to DekelOil
•
DekelOil is currently one of the only established, palm oil developers with contiguous land not in partnership with a major Asian palm oil company
• Palm oil is the most widely used edible oil in the world • Demand estimated to double by 2020 (World Bank) • Supply side limited by lack of land availability in traditional growth zones in Malaysia and Indonesia

Cote d’Ivoire: An Ideal Environment •
Cote d’Ivoire has a well established palm oil industry with an estimated 250,000ha of palm oil plantations
•
Highly dominant agriculture industry provides an existing agriculture workforce and commodity trading infrastructure
•
Modern infrastructure: land, sea (largest port in West Africa), air, electricity and communication
•
Shortage of Côte d’Ivoire milling capacity for smallholders
•
The Directors believe the market is relatively fragmented with potential acquisition opportunities
•
Economy grew by 8.1% in 2013 (source IMF projection) Company

c.14 hectare, mill floor
• At full capacity, the Mill can produce 70-75,000 tons of CPO
• An effluent treatment plant (‘ETS’) is being built by leading provider KIS Group • Kernel crushing plant currently being constructed – due to commence operations in Q4 2015 • Mill management and operations team in place

Feedstock for the Mill Small Holder Estates
Company Estates
Relationships with 1,000’s of small holders
1,900 ha planted to date at Ayanouan, partly yielding
Estimated annual yields from small holders of 10 tn/h of Fresh Fruit Bunch
Costs to maturity: US$2,000/ha to US$2,500/ha Mature plantations in Côte d’Ivoire have a peak yield of 20-24t/h
A blend of small holder feedstock due to regional surplus supply and planted company estates which will come into maturity in the near term
Logistics • Logistics Zone Managers recruited to coordinate the delivery of fruit to collection points and Mill • Continuous planning with local cooperatives to enable the adequate and efficient delivery of feedstock • Three ‘Collection Points’ established providing multiple drop-off points for smallholders and managing congestion as trucks make deliveries for processing • The Mill’s reception area has been designed to be twice the size of those at traditional 70,000 tpa mills for efficiency purposes
• Contract signed with a subcontractor to transport fruits from the Logistics Collection Points to the Mill
Developing an effective logistics network to ensure timely delivery of fresh fruit bunches ('FFB') to the Mill via Collection Points
Social and Environment • RSPO member and certification process to commence shortly
• Majority of planting cultivated areas • Planting in communities

• Palm oil effluent treatment plant planned • All environmental permits in place • Employ over 300 staff – majority local management
Focussed on developing its projects sustainably and in line with RSPO standards
