Matthew Coulson, chief executive of M.P. Evans Group, discussed the company's unaudited interim results for the first half of 2024 in an interview with Proactive. He reported a 5% increase in total crop processed to 759,700 tonnes and a 6% rise in crude palm oil production to 177,000 tonnes, attributing the performance to all six of the group's fruit mills operating throughout the period. Coulson noted a 78% increase in operating profit to $41.6 million, which he described as stemming from long-term work, and announced a 20% increase in the interim dividend to £0.15 per share, highlighting a 30-year track record of maintaining or increasing dividends. Coulson stated that the group continues to plant new areas in its South Sumatra project and is seeking opportunities to bring in new planted areas at other locations. He said acquisitions also play an important role, noting that the company acquired just over 10,000 new hectares the previous year and is in the process of integrating them, while remaining on the lookout for further acquisitions.
