Philpot, I am looking at HL which shows the trade time at 16:10, but here on LSE it is showing a morning trade as you said. I suspect you, and LSE, are correct.

The trade I am looking at was timed at 16:10 for 91,000 shares.

Nice to see the price back up to 11p. Those who have bought at close to 10p today will probably look back on today as a good day!

I suspect you are right Philpot. If so then we are now getting some buyers back in. Someone just picked up 250,000 shares. It could be a PI or maybe management or II, taking advantage of the price drop. I'm sitting on my hands today, as I can't afford to add more, but still comfortable holding here. Given the nature of our business, we will get down times like this. If the harvest is poor across the region, we may even be able to negotiate better terms for Norpalm.

Thanks JK400 for the update. I've now listened to it and think it is a better format than previously with V ox. It comes across as more serious and more likely to inform. Hoping for a decent production update for Q3 soon.

For me, this is the main problem with holding shares here. We know with certainty that there has been at least one undeclared holding in the company i.e Biopalm, and oro ably more. We have therefore no knowledge of if or when they have sold any shares, so it is impossible to determine the extent of any share overhang out there. It was brought up at the AGM about the undeclared Biopalm holding, but so far there has been no declaration or upate on the Dekeloil website, which has disappointed me. The company has many positives to recommend it, and I remain a committed holder, but this failure to declare holdings emphasises that this is still a small, AIM company.

I think it was being recorded today, so presumably airing early next week.

Totalnew, I think they said that one possibility was to bring in an equity partner at project level, in other words a joint venture similar to how Ayenouan started. This would make sense in Ghana and also possibly at Guitry, as the cost of going it alone would be prohibitive I guess. The results look positive to me. Based on previously reported product sales, the total sales figures have been boosted by over €750k of nursery sales. This is good news as it is improving the plant stock of smallholders to improve supplies in future. Finance costs looked high initially to me based on the level of debt and an interest rate of 7%, so I presume that the additional cost (circa €200k) relates to share issues reating to CLN repayment and/or buyout of the balance from our JV partner. Hoping for decent Q3 production update soon. Sales should be good as we had stocks at the half year for sale in the quiet season at good prices.

Just bought 20,000 at 11.2p. Thanks for the tip Rugs.

And yet no real impact on the SP. I guess we may see a large late-reported buy coming in as well.

We shouldn't forget that the management here are highly incentivised by the structure of the option scheme. As I understand it, they have already received 25% of their options, whilst the remainder vests in 25% increments over the 5 years of the scheme, only when the Share Price reaches the milestones of 8p, 10p and 12p.

Weapon7, I guess people get bored waiting for news. For me, it seems like a great opportunity to get in at the beginning. This is almost like a new company, with new management, new financing, lean cost structure and a manufacturing set up geared strongly for growth. The business is making only a small loss, even at these levels of production. It isn't too difficult to see good profits when new orders come in, provided they stick to their pricing model. Given the history of the company under prior management, I can't see current management repeating the mistakes of the past. There is good institutional support here and, with very few shares in the hands of small investors, I can see this share ticking up quickly when we get some good news on orders. IMO a strong buy at these levels.

Pretty much as expected. Net cash on balance sheet. Good level of interest from potential new customers, as the operation ramps up in Ethiopia.

I've just bought another 200k shares today @ 2.34p, although showing as a sell. I see this as a great opportunity. The company is largely debt free, has a solid supportive institutional investor in Miton, is gearing up operations for growth and has stripped out costs and old management making it a lean operation. Once Ethiopia is kitted out for expansion (we now own 100% of the operation there) we should see revenues increase. The pricing model being adopted now means that additional revenues should translate into improved profits. Strong buy IMO.

Good to see CPO prices back avove $700 on Abidjan.net again.

I presume this is Miton taking some of their dividend as shares, which is a vote of confidence from them. I'm hoping to see the interims mid Sept, as last year, followed by Q3 figures mid Oct, to keep the newsflow coming. Whilst it would be nice to have an announcement soon on Norpalm, I can imagine how difficult it may be to clear up the land ownership issues that Norpalm have in Ghana before completing the deal. Not something that will happen quickly I guess nor something to be rushed

I don't know what the AIM rules are, but most companies seem to RNS in advance, then RNS each day that shares are bought back, giving details of quantities bought and prices paid.

Mine arrived shortly after 9am, so no complaints with TD.

FK1, as you say, TD don't offer the Scrip facility, so I was unable to take it up. Still, it will be nice to have the divi cash on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Good to see the CPO prices rising again.
