Matang and its subsidiaries, i.e., MHB, MAPS and MAPYP shall be collectively herein referred to as Matang Group
MATANG GROUP has been primarily focused on its oil palm business, i.e., the ownership and management of oil palm plantations as well as the sale of FFB (“Oil Palm Business”). The Oil Palm Business centres on cultivation and maintenance of oil palm plantation as well as harvesting and sales of FFBs. Despite consistently outperforming production yields of Johor State in the past and persevering as a long-term cash flow generator, the performances of the Oil Palm Business in terms of profitability have been volatile, often tied to the fluctuation of crude palm oil (“CPO”) prices which are affected by a large number of macroeconomic, political as well as climatic factors. Against the backdrop of dwindling CPO prices since 2017 into 2019, the Board of Matang successfully sought shareholders’ approval in November 2019 to diversify the business of Matang Group into durian business that encompasses ownership, operation and management of durian plantations to processing, production and distribution of durian and any related downstream business activities (“Durian Business”).
