Agriterra, down 27% at 4.46p, 12-month range 3.5p-9p. The African agricultural company reports fall in revenue to USD5.5 million for the six months to September 30 versus USD6.1 million a year ago.

Agriterra notes a risk that coronavirus will start to escalate in Mozambique, which could "potentially impact the group's operations through the contraction of the economy and restrictions on movement within the country". "Currently the incidence of Covid-19 is increasing and Mozambique health care units and facilities are reported to be 90% full. All countries in Southern Africa are implementing aggressive Covid-19 preventive measures which include closing land borders in response to the new Covid-19 variants, with travel bans widespread," says Agriterra.
