PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd
(KLK) expects fresh fruit bunch (FFB) output growth to improve for the financial year ending Sept 30, 2025 (FY25) as the company prepares for the European Union Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) implementation expected by year-end.
Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research shared in a report following a meeting with KLK’s management the better FFB output growth for FY25 is based on FFB yields tending to recover considerably after a La Nina episode, while measures taken to tackle the Mealy bugs infestation at its Sabah operations would also help raise FFB yields.
