What makes this thing trade at so high price with this kind of earnings per share or its the value of the land they own?

Land. Limuru is practically part of Nairobi with better/cooler weather and much greener. If Waiyaki Way is expanded [think Thika Highway] further then it becomes very easy to get to/from CBD.

Performance:
In the 1st half of 2015, the company produced 1,379 Tonnes of green leaf which in turn was manufactured into 321 Tonnes of Black Tea. This was a 15% decrease in Made Tea Volumes compared to 1st half of 2014.

Total revenues decreased by 12% to Kes 42Mn due to the depressed volumes as a result of drier weather conditions.

Prospect: "If this price trend persists and the weather conditions keep improving, we expect the revenues in the second half to improve.."

321 tonnes of black tea @ 3 dollars a kg should give a turnover of 96million, what I'm I not getting?
