Feronia Inc. Reports Q3 2018 Results


TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Feronia Inc. ("Feronia" or the "Company") (TSX-V: FRN) today released its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2018. All amounts in this release are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Q3 2018 Highlights

Xavier de Carnière, Chief Executive Officer of Feronia Inc. commented:

"We continue to take great strides forward. Production continues to increase in line with expectations and a 59% year-on-year increase in CPO production for the quarter is very encouraging, as is the new boiler and turbine at Boteka which were recently commissioned and are running well. The Lokutu boiler continues to give us some operational issues although we are actively working to resolve these.

"Alongside the agricultural and industrial improvements, there are many other very exciting developments happening on the ground which demonstrate our commitment to becoming a showcase of sustainability for the DRC palm oil industry. These include the ongoing implementation of our social protocols with a new school opening at Yaoselo, Lokutu earlier this month, as well as a number of other ongoing initiatives including training women at Yaligimba to drive tractors to evacuate fruit, which is already delivering splendid results, and commencing a partnership with Marie Stopes International, to help empower women and girls to take control of their futures.

"Whilst the environment in which we operate remains challenging, the fundamentals of our business are moving in the right direction and we are demonstrating we are on the right track. It is important we maintain momentum and so we are looking to strengthen our financial position to put this business on the firm footing it very much deserves."
