SINGAPORE (May 11): Halcyon Agri Corporation sunk into a core operating loss of US$2.6 million ($3.7 million) for the 1Q2020 ended March, a sharp swing from profit of US$5.6 million in the same period last year.
The loss was attributable to reduced rubber production during the 1Q wintering season, and decline in rubber prices. Rubber prices collapsed from a high of US$1,450 at the beginning of the year, to a four-year-low of US$1,038 as at end March.
