@ GG, be patient, they'll announce by Jamhuri Day going by last year's trend. My guess is that revenue will hit or exceed Ksh. 3b (from Ksh 2.18b in 2009)and operating profit likely to increase though cashflow will be affected by the first tranche retirement in June 2010 of the CP debt. Though this is a 'Merali' outfit, I like the fact that JB McFie is the chairman - good, clean pair of hands!
@ Guru, you need to wait a little longer for Kakuzi results - around March next year. BTW avocados are their saving grace!
They've also started a macadamia nut plantation and are of course carrying out a pineapple JV with Del Monte.
Rea Vipingo posted a small loss for the first half ending March 2010 (and issued a profit warning), may struggle to match last year's performance. Have diversified into horticulture (baby corn)at their Dwa estate. Also have some good tracts of land in Kilifi where prices have shot through the roof!
My two meticals...
