Key Highlights
Palm Oil Operation
-- H1 2022 revenue of EUR20.7m, a 5.1% increase from EUR19.7m in
H1 2022 - includes sales of CPO, Palm Kernel Oil ('PKO'), Palm
Kernel Cake ('PKC') and Nursery Plants
-- We achieved a 49% increase in H1 2023 CPO production compared
to H1 2022, however, the H1 2022 gross margin - EUR3.5m, EBITDA -
EUR2.3m and net profit after tax EUR1.2m were below H1 2022
comparisons due to the timing difference of a high volume of sales
occurring post H1 2023 due to the late and strong production high
season:
o H1 2023 CPO inventory of 4,870 tonnes compared to 650 tonnes
at H1 2022
o H1 2023 PKO inventory of 1,080 tonnes compared to 300 tonnes
at H2 2022
-- H1 2023 stock on hand has been sold in H2 2023 and whilst CPO
and PKO prices traded lower than the record prices in 2022, our
current sales prices remain historically strong and together with
continued strong production H2 2023 is currently tracking
significantly ahead of H2 2022.
Cashew Operation
-- The Cashew Operation commenced commercial operations in H1
2023 recording first revenue of EUR0.6m and a loss after tax of
EUR1.1m. The loss is due to daily production volumes achieved being
below operational capacity during the ramp-up phase of the
operation.
-- The Cashew Operation production volumes continue to gradually
improve in H2 2023 which should drive improvement in financial
outcomes.
-- The other main value drivers of the Cashew Operation
including the price of Raw Cashew Nut ('RCN'), the Cashew
extraction rate and sales prices are delivering in line with
expectations.

Operational Highlights - Palm Oil Operation
-- The Palm Oil Operation experienced a significantly stronger
high season compared to H1 2022 with Fresh Fruit Bunch ('FFB')
volumes and Crude Palm Oil ('CPO') production increasing 52.1% and
49.0% respectively compared to H1 2022.
-- CPO sales quantities increased 22.4% in H1 2023 compared to
last year. Given the high season arrived much later than normal our
CPO stock levels at the end of H1 2023 are much higher than typical
at over 4,800tn.
-- The H1 2023 average CPO sales price achieved was historically
strong at EUR934 per tonne, albeit 7.8% below the record H1 2022
CPO sales price.
-- The CPO extraction rate for H1 2023 of 21.9% was slightly
lower than H2 2022 but remains well in line with expectations.

during H1 2023 including, increasing ownership to 100%, commencing
commercial operations, first operational sales and post period end
completing the BRC global food standard assessment.

is continually increasing which should be reflected in the upcoming
Q3 2023 production volumes.

purchasing to sales prices with the exception of daily production
volumes are in line with expectations.

Lincoln Moore, Dekel 's Executive Director , said: "The Palm Oil
Operation is experiencing potentially its best year in terms of
both relatively strong production volumes and sales price which
sets up a strong full year financial performance. The Cashew
Operation has significant upside as daily production volumes
continue to increase since transitioning to commercial production
in early 2023 and we look forward to seeing the benefits of both
operations working well in tandem as 2023 progresses".

Notes:
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc is a multi-project, multi-commodity
agriculture company focused on West Africa. It has a portfolio of
projects in Côte d'Ivoire at various stages of development: a fully
operational palm oil project in Ayenouan where fruit produced by
local smallholders is processed at the Company's 60,000tpa capacity
crude palm oil mill and a cashew processing project in Tiebissou,
which is currently transitioning to full commercial production in
2023.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Palm Oil Operation
Although the production high season commenced later than
typical, we saw an excellent period of production from March to
June 2023 which culminated in an increase in CPO production of 49%
in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022. The period of relatively high CPO
production has continued into H2 where in September 2023 we expect
to record our 8(th) consecutive month of higher like for like
production compared to 2022. The improvement in production volumes
is largely due to a much stronger FFB harvesting season compared to
2022 and a period of smooth operating performance from our
logistics and milling teams who have been able to take full
advantage of improved market volumes. CPO sales volumes in H1 2023
also increased 22.4% compared to H1 2022 although the strong and
late timing of the high season meant we held over 4,000tn of
additional CPO stock at the end of H1 2023. This stock has been
sold subsequent to half year end and we are tracking to achieve
annual CPO production and sales volumes close to record levels in
2023.
International CPO and PKO sales prices traded well above
historically averages, albeit lower than the record levels achieved
in 2022. International CPO prices currently sit at around
EUR875-900 per tonne and whilst we have seen some recent pressure
on our local CPO prices largely due to high inventory levels
resulting from the late strong high season, CPO prices currently
remain very supporting for our Palm Oil Operation.
The combined balance of relatively strong CPO production and
relatively high CPO prices positions the Palm Oil Operation very
well to exceed our record 2021 results.
Cashew Operation
The Cashew Operation achieved a number of key milestones during
H1 2023 including commencing commercial operations, first
operational sales and post period end completing the BRC global
food standard assessment. All other key elements of the value chain
from raw material purchasing to sales prices with the exception of
daily production volumes are in line with expectations. The ramp up
of daily production has been slower than we would like due to
teething problems particularly in the shelling and peeling
machinery. We are however seeing gradual improvement which should
be reflected in the upcoming Q3 2023 production volumes data and we
are hopeful to see a move towards operational profitability in Q4
2023.
As previously stated, the Cashew Operation is integral to our
short and medium term growth plans. It has a nameplate capacity of
15,000 tonnes per annum ('tpa'), production at the plant can be
ramped up by 50% at no extra cost by simply increasing the number
of shifts from two to three per day. From 15,000tpa and at a capex
cost of EUR5-6 million, the mill's capacity can be doubled to
30,000tpa, which the Directors estimate could generate revenues in
the region of approximately EUR35 million per annum based on
current prices.
Other Projects
Whilst we have further expansion plans, including the processing
of a third commodity in addition to clean energy aspirations, these
projects are on hold as we focus on enhancing the production
volumes of the Cashew Operation.

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Dekel achieved H1 2023 EBITDA of EUR2.2m and net profit after
tax of EUR0.4m compared to EUR4m EBITDA and EUR2.3m net profit
after tax in H1 2022. This result was driven by:
-- A decrease in the H1 2023 Palm Oil Operation EBITDA was
largely due to timing differences associated with the sale of
significant quantities of H1 2023 CPO and PKO production taking
place after H1 2023 period end. Conversely the significant increase
in sales volumes in H2 2023 should set up a strong H2 2023 compared
to H2 2022.
-- A decrease in CPO and PKO selling prices in H1 2023 compared
to record prices in achieved in H1 2022 as well as a small decrease
in the CPO extraction rate.
-- The commercial commencement of the Cashew Operation in 2023
meaning previous costs which were capitalised pre commercial
production being recorded as operational costs resulting in an
increase in the Net loss .
Outlook
In the past, we have seen the Palm Oil operation have periods of
strong pricing and weak volumes or vice versa. 2023 is arguably the
best year we have seen in terms of both relatively strong volumes
and pricing which sets us up for a strong financial performance.
The Cashew Operation has significant upside as daily production
volumes continue to improve and we look forward to seeing the
benefits of both operations working well in tandem as quickly as
possible.
I would like to thank the Board, Management, our employees and
advisers for their support and hard work over the course of the
year.

the 6 months ending 30 June 2023 (see also note 3 operating
segments). When combined with record inventory levels of CPO and
PKO on 30 June 2023 due to the strong late palm oil high season,
Palm Oil operation is expected to generate close to record
operating profit and generate material operating cash flows for the
full year ending 31 December 2023. In addition, the Cashew
Operation is gradually increasing daily production and is forecast
to deliver positive operating cash flows in the coming months. The
Group has prepared detailed forecasted cash flows through the end
of 2024, which indicate that the Group should have positive cash
flows from its Group operations. However, the operations of the
Group are subject to various market conditions, including quantity
and quality of fruit harvests and market prices that are not under
the Group's control that could have an adverse effect on the
Group's future cash flows.
Based on the above, the Company's management believes it will
have sufficient funds necessary to continue its operations and to
meet its obligations as they become due for at least a period of
twelve months from the date of approval of the financial
statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements:
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent
with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, except as
described in c. below.
b. Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments
approximate their fair value.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
c. Initial adoption of amendments to existing financial reporting and accounting standards:
1. Amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors":
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 8,
"Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors"
("the Amendment"), in which it introduces a new definition of
"accounting estimates".
Accounting estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in
financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty".
The Amendment clarifies the distinction between changes in
accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the
correction of errors.
The Amendment is to be applied prospectively for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is
applicable to changes in accounting policies and changes in
accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that
period.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact
on the Company's interim financial statements.
2. Amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes":
In May 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, "Income
Taxes" ("IAS 12"), which narrows the scope of the initial
recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS 12.24 ("the
Amendment").
According to the recognition guidelines of deferred tax assets
and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities in respect of certain temporary differences arising
from the initial recognition of certain transactions. This
exception is referred to as the "initial recognition exception".
The Amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition
exception and clarifies that it does not apply to the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions
that are not a business combination and that give rise to equal
taxable and deductible temporary differences, even if they meet the
other criteria of the initial recognition exception.
The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2023. In relation to leases and
decommissioning obligations, the Amendment is applied commencing
from the earliest reporting period presented in the financial
statements in which the Amendment is initially applied. The
cumulative effect of the initial application of the Amendment is
recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate) at that
date.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact
on the Company's interim financial statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
3. Amendment to IAS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies:
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1,
"Presentation of Financial Statements" ("the Amendment"), which
replaces the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting
policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting
policies. One of the main reasons for the Amendment is the absence
of a definition of the term 'significant' in IFRS whereas the term
'material' is defined in several standards and particularly in IAS
1.
The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2023.
The above Amendment did not have an effect on the Company's
interim consolidated financial statements. However, the Company is
evaluating whether the Amendment will affect the disclosures of
accounting policies in the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 3:- OPERATING SEGMENTS
a. General:
The operating segments are identified based on information that
is reviewed by the Company's management to make decisions about
resources to be allocated and assess its performance. Accordingly,
for management purposes, the Group is organized into two operating
segments based on the two business units the Group has. The two
business units are incorporated under two separate subsidiaries of
the Company, the CPO production unit is incorporated under CS
DekelOil Siva Ltd and its subsidiary and the RCN processing plant
in commissioning stage is incorporated under Pearlside Holdings Ltd
and its subsidiary.
Segment performance (segment income (loss)) and the segment
assets and liabilities are derived from the financial statements of
each separate group of entities as described above. Unallocated
items are mainly the Group's headquarter costs .
