Turnaround in 3Q2021 with Strong Growth from NutryFarm&rsquo s Durian Business Revenue Surged 42-Fold to HK$516.77 Million with Net Profit of HK$19.24 Million 
 
Singapore, 15 August 2021 &ndash NutryFarm International Limited (&ldquo NutryFarm&rdquo or the &ldquo Company&rdquo , and together with its subsidiaries, the &ldquo Group&rdquo ), is pleased to announce that it has recorded a strong set of third quarter results for the financial period ended 30 June 2021 (&ldquo 3Q2021&rdquo ). 
 
Significant growth and contribution from the Group&rsquo s durian trading business: Majority of the revenue was generated by the Group&rsquo s subsidiary, Global Agricapital Holdings Pte Ltd. (&ldquo GAH&rdquo ), which is involved in the fruit business. GAH contributed revenue of HK$494.9 million in 3Q2021 through the fulfilment of durian shipments to its customers in the period. Separately, the Group&rsquo s nutrition business reported sales of HK$21.9 million in 3Q2021, representing an increase of 79.5% over the previous corresponding period.
 
The Group&rsquo s revenue growth in 3Q2021 was mainly driven by its durian trading business, which has been on a growth trajectory since 2Q2021.
 
Strong turnaround in 3Q2021 with net profit of HK$19.24 million: With the strong revenue contribution of the durian trading business and improved performance of the nutrition business, the Group marked a strong turnaround with a net profit of HK$19.24 million in 3Q2021 as compared to a loss in the previous corresponding period. 
 
As a result, the Group&rsquo s revenue for the nine months ended 30 June 2021 (&ldquo 9M2021&rdquo ) increased substantially to HK$572.4 million with net profit of HK$18.7 million. 
 
Recent Corporate Developments
 
Since December 2020, the Group has announced various agreements to sell fresh durians from Thailand to major Chinese fruit importers and the total contract value of these agreements has exceeded RMB 1.15 billion as at 30 June 2021.
 
Demonstrating its growing capabilities in the durian industry, the Group has been undertaking the   fulfilment of the current order book on hand. At the same time, the Group is proactively looking to secure new orders from existing and new customers in Asia.
 
To accelerate its growth plans in Asia&rsquo s durian industry, the Group has expanded its business presence in Singapore over the past few months. Starting with a memorandum of understanding with established e-commerce company, EBUY, in May 2021, the Group has separately incorporated another new subsidiary, Kong Jun Global Pte Ltd (&ldquo KJG&rdquo ), which is a joint venture between the Group 
and Kong Jun Durian Pte Ltd. (&ldquo Kong Jun&rdquo ) with a focus on the sales and distribution of pre-packed durians. Kong Jun is a company set-up by Mr Ang Seck Puan, the founder of Singapore&rsquo s well-known durian retailer, Combat Durian, and certain members of the Ang family.
 
On 4 June 2021, the Group announced a share placement exercise to raise S$6.38 million via the issuance of   22 million new ordinary shares which will be used for business expansion and working capital purposes in relation to the Group&rsquo s growth plans in Asia&rsquo s durian industry.
 
In June 2021, the Group appointed as the sole distributor of Malaysia&rsquo s leading durian brand, DKING&rsquo s (帝 一 榴 ) Musang King (猫 山 王 ) frozen durian pulp in Singapore for a period of two years. The Group will be tapping on its existing partner channels, Ebuy Pte Ltd and its own subsidiary, KJG, to market and sell the products.
 
In August 2021, the Group obtained approval from shareholders via an Extraordinary General Meeting to diversify its business and expand its core business to include fruit trading, including the principal activities of GAH. 
 
Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of NutryFarm, Mr. Cheng Meng (程 勐 ), said, &ldquo Despite the operational challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have delivered a strong set of financial performance in 3Q2021, validating our strategic focus in the durian industry and our core competences in this niche agricultural industry.
 
We believe this is only the beginning of our journey and we have strategic ambitions to expand our business footprint within the global durian industry, driven with a focus on sustainable growth and building long-term value for our shareholders.&rdquo
NutryFarm is betting on Asia' s love affair with durians
The king of fruits will be the mainboard-listed company' s calling card into the global agricultural arena.
 
MAINBOARD-LISTED NutryFarm International wants to seize on China' s demand for durians, and eventually create an international platform where fresh produce can be sold and traded.
 
In an interview with The Business Times, Cheng Meng, who has been NutryFarm' s chief executive officer since January this year, says he has been busy focusing on two key objectives: one, to stabilise its nutrition and health food business which has been battered by regulatory headwinds and Covid-19 and two, to develop a new core business that capitalises on the group' s understanding of food certifications and connections in China, a move he believes will provide NutryFarm with a strong foundation and new growth drivers.
 
The 32-year old Chinese national, who had quit a lucrative engineering job at the age of 26 to trade Thai durians, sees new growth from the king of fruits - a green, spiky, football-sized fruit whose harvest is eagerly anticipated by many lusting for its custardy, yet potently odoriferous flesh.
 
After much discussions with the board, Global Agricapital Holdings (GAH) was incorporated in December 2020 for wholesale trading and distribution of fruits and vegetables as well as canning and preservation of fruits and juices.
 
" The nutrition and health food products business is seeing a transition phase after new regulations and directives in the industry that were introduced in recent years." Mr Cheng says. The group will continue to monitor the industry trends before deciding the next step for that business.
 
" As for our durian trading business, we see that despite the Covid-19 pandemic, China' s demand for durians remains robust," adds Mr Cheng, who is also the executive vice-president of the Thailand-Anhui Business Council.
 
Durian consumption is expected to grow in China, where 1.4 billion stomachs have the power to move markets, and where the fruit is finding a place on menus of large food and beverage brands such as McDonald' s, Pizza Hut, KFC and Starbucks. Consulting firm Plantations International predicts that the global market for raw durian (fresh, frozen, paste and pulp) will reach US$25 billion (S$33.68 billion) by 2030, up from US$15 billion in 2016. This will be driven by China.
 
Thailand, where the durian season stretches from February to November, is the world' s number one exporter. In 2019, Thailand exported US$1.5 billion worth of durians to overseas markets, up 54.6 per cent from the previous year. China, Hong Kong and Asean members accounted for 98 per cent of the demand. In 2020, China imported 575,000 tons of durians worth RMB14.7 billion (S$3.06 billion) from Thailand, up 78 per cent year-on-year, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand.
 
A new growth driver
 
Mr Cheng says: " With strong demand from China, our first step is to harness the opportunities by expanding our trading and distribution business. We aim to scale up our business and secure new sales contracts with existing and new wholesale customers from China."
 
" Next, we want to expand across Asia, with the Singapore market being the next springboard to create more branding on our vacuum-packed durians targeted towards the consumer markets in Singapore. With our own sales channels, we have the opportunity to market other durians or durian-related products as a downstream distributor such as our recent appointment for DKING' s Musang King frozen durian pulp," he says. Musang King is arguably the creme de la creme of Malaysian durians, retailing around S$25 a kilogramme in Singapore.
 
GAH recently secured the sole distributorship of DKING' s Musang King Frozen Durian Pulp in Singapore from Duricious. This sole distributorship is for two years from June 24, 2021 to June 23, 2023. DKING is a pioneer in the export of Malaysia durians. It boasts of a liquid nitrogen freezing technology processing plant that allows deep freezing of durian products to preserve freshness and quality for export markets. GAH has placed its first order of 1,200 cartons (28,800 packs) with Duricious and the delivery is expected to arrive by mid-July 2021.
 
Mr Cheng believes the fruit business offers " reasonable prospects" for profit contribution and generating positive cash flows, enabling the group to operate as a going concern. NutryFarm intends to seek shareholders' approval to diversify its core into the fruit business.
 
" I believe that durian will be our calling card into the global agricultural arena and we look forward to harvesting the opportunities that come with it.
 
" With the strong momentum in our durian business, my vision for NutryFarm is to become a vertically integrated business enterprise and become a leading player in the global durian industry, creating an international platform where fresh produce in any country can be cross-marketed and traded to reach new geographical markets and customers," he says.
 
Beyond trading and distribution, the engineer by training sees opportunities to leverage technology in other important aspects of the durian supply chain where NutryFarm can potentially venture into to create more growth drivers and value propositions for stakeholders. These include the upstream components of plantations/farms and warehousing/processing, and the downstream components of logistics/transportation and wholesale/import.
 
" With greater vertical integration, there is more control on quality and cost at each component of the value chain and this may lead to higher operating margins and growth," Mr Cheng says.
 
As for funding needs to fulfil this vision, he says: " Ideally, we want to use our internal cash resources and free cash flow from our operations to fund our organic initiatives as this is the cheapest form of capital."
 
At the end of March 2021, NutryFarm had HK$3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. In June, it announced a share placement exercise to raise S$6.38 million to accelerate its growth plans. After the placement, Mr Cheng will hold 9.7 per cent of NutryFarm.
 
Too early to call
 
While it is still too early to call, better cost control measures have narrowed losses in its nutrition business. NutryFarm achieved a turnaround in its latest results for the second quarter 2021, with a net profit of about HK$0.5 million, compared to net loss of HK$5 million (S$867,347) a year before. Durian trading was the major revenue contributor at HK$27.9 million out of the overall sales of HK$41 million.
 
Mr Cheng was introduced to NutryFarm by a business associate of the company, which led to his purchase of 13.3 million NutryFarm shares, or 11.5 per cent of the enlarged share capital, through a share placement last September. He obtained his Bachelor of Automotive Engineering degree from Shanghai University in 2013 and was seconded to Thailand at the age of 24 to be a project manager overseeing major construction projects in Thailand for China' s Shandong Electric Power Construction No.3 Engineering Company.
 
While he was working in Thailand, there were requests to purchase Thailand durians from Chinese fruit importers. That nudged the durian lover to trade in durians, a move he thought was simply buying low in Thailand and selling at a higher price to Chinese wholesale buyers. Within six months, that naivety cost him " millions of renminbi" .
 
Nevertheless, Mr Cheng perservered and grew his knowledge, experience and network over the ensuing years.
 
Despite family objections, he quit his job in 2015 and switched careers to trade durians. A year later, he founded the One Family (Thai) Company in Thailand, which is in the business of planting, trading and processing of durians.
 
" After more than 3-4 years on the ground and learning from the farmers and industry players, I felt confident enough to re-start the durian trading business and within a couple of years, I became one of the largest exporters of Thai durians to China," he says, citing quality assurance as one of the key cornerstone of the business.
 
With the reputation and track record built up over the past seven years, he says Chinese buyers put their trust and confidence in him and NutryFarm.
 
" We quickly secured several contracts, exceeding RMB 1.15 billion to-date, to supply fresh Thailand durians to Chinese fruit importers," he says. Buyers included Moonda (Beijing) Agriculture Science and Technology Co, Shanghai Yuqu Trading Co and China Railway Production Control (Chengdu) Industrial Co.

Some background information about the CEO of Nutryfarm:
After obtaining his Bachelor of Automotive Engineering degree from Shanghai University in 2013, Cheng began his career as a project manager overseeing major construction projects in Thailand for China&rsquo s Shandong Electric Power Construction No.3 Engineering Company.
When Cheng first got interested in durians and started dabbling in the trading and distribution of the fruit, his inexperience and lack of knowledge led to him losing millions of renminbi within 6 months.  While this initial foray had drained a significant portion of his financial resources, it also taught Cheng many important lessons, and allowed him to build up a more comprehensive understanding of the trade. He was undaunted and vowed to make a name for himself in the durian trade. 
&ldquo So against my family&rsquo s wishes, in 2015, I quit my well-paid job as project manager and switched careers to the durian industry.&rdquo
In 2016, Cheng founded the One Family (Thai) Company Ltd in Thailand, which is in the business of planting, trading and processing of durians. 
&ldquo As we are dealing with fresh produce, technical knowledge is vital and serves as a key entry barrier to this industry,&rdquo he noted.
&ldquo Not only does it takes time to accumulate know-how and skills, we also need to be constantly on the ground, building on our agricultural expertise and expanding our networks with the farmers and plantations.&rdquo
Over the course of this journey, a feather in his cap was chalking up sales of US$200 million in fresh Thai durians, the majority of which was exported to China.  Since December 2020, NutryFarm has inked various agreements to sell 1,480 containers of fresh durians from Thailand to major Chinese fruit importers. The total contract value of these agreements is estimated at approximately RMB962.0 million as at 13 February 2021.
The company has aggressive plans to further expand its business.  Last month, the Group announced plans to expand its durian business in Singapore with local e-commerce partner EBuy Pte Ltd. Ebuy will import pre-packaged durians from Malaysia and Thailand on behalf of GAH and its suppliers, and distribute them in Singapore. The first shipment is expected by 1 June 2021.
&ldquo As part of our continuous efforts to be a preferred partner, we aim to utilise our specialised industry knowledge and access to various supply origins in Thailand to expand our business presence in Asia,&rdquo Cheng said.
And in view of the Group&rsquo s intention to build up capabilities in the wholesale trading of fruits, NutryFarm will seek shareholder approval for the proposed diversification of its core business.

As with most turnaround companies, gotta give it some time to let the numbers settle for a clearer picture. This industry is more that just durian trading. If they can secure cheap supplies, they can freeze the pulp and sell it for a higher price for confectionary and other food products during peak season. A lot of other opportunities too, so we shall see what is up this CEO' s sleeves.
I go by logic .
Dont care what cheng or what chan family.
Sales surged 615% BUT
Net profit ONLY HKD 0.46 mil ??????? (Said already , most hawker stall in Spore made more $ than this)
Means profit margin super low.
Think their logistics suppliers made more $ than them the business provider.
I really like to eat DURIANS.
But this is about business.

Mr Cheng family busines, join NutryFarm. ☆ 》 He saw the listed coy as a vehicle that can significantly scale up the durian/fruit business and manage large working capital and receivables.?
☆ ☆ 》 》 Upon coming on board as the CEO, rapid changes have follows:....
How can buy this type of stock.
Profit margin so low.
I like to eat durian but then sales surged 615% net profit only HKD 0.46 mil ??????????
This net profit is less than SGD 0.1 mil.
I think the rojak hawker stall @ balestier made 5X more $ than this enterprise.

New core business coming soon. More n better cash flow. Thank Q durian boss.

&bull Shipments of fresh durians have already started since 20 February 2021 and will continue throughout 2021
 
Singapore, 17 March 2021 &ndash NutryFarm International Limited (&ldquo NutryFarm&rdquo or the &ldquo Company&rdquo , and together with its subsidiaries, the &ldquo Group&rdquo ), is pleased to announce that the Company&rsquo s wholly owned subsidiary, Global Agricapital Holdings Pte. Ltd. (&ldquo GAH&rdquo ), has entered into two binding purchase agreements with Royal Farm Group Co., Ltd (&ldquo RFG&rdquo ) and Thung Thang Thong Co., Ltd. (&ldquo TTT&rdquo ).
Under the agreements, GAH has entrusted RFG and TTT to purchase an estimated volume of 270 and 300 containers of fresh durians in Thailand respectively.
 
The price will be based on market price which is acceptable to GAH and the orders will be placed by GAH in batches. GAH shall made a pre-payment of not more than 30% of the order amount upon confirmation of each batch order with the remainder to be paid within thirty days after delivery.
 
It is also agreed that RFG and TTT shall guarantee the quantity of goods shipped from Thailand and exercise strict quality control based on the requirement of the logistics partner as well as during transportation and warehousing.
 
Led by the Group&rsquo s CEO, Mr. Cheng Meng, an industry veteran in the durian industry, the Group has entered into various agreements to sell over 1,480 containers of fresh durians from Thailand to major Chinese fruit importers since December 2020. The total contract value of these agreements is estimated at approximately RMB 962.0 million as announced on 13 February 2021.
Together with these latest two purchase contracts, the Group has entered into purchase agreements to collectively purchase 870 containers of fresh durians from various sources in Thailand to fulfil the sales orders. Shipments of the fresh durians have already started since 20 February 2021 and will continue throughout 2021.
 
In 2019, Thailand exported US$1.46 billion worth of durians to overseas markets, a rise of 54.6% from the previous year, with China, Hong Kong and ASEAN nations accounting for 98% of export volume. 
 
According to data from China Customs, China&rsquo s imports of fresh and frozen durians in the first half of 2020 reached US$1.62 billion, corresponding to a 73.5% year-on-year increase and almost reaching
the US$1.82 billion imported during the whole of 2019. In the first half of 2020, China&rsquo s imports of fresh durians reached US$1.52 billion, corresponding to a 75.7% year-on-year increase.
 
Mr. Cheng Meng (程 勐 ), Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of NutryFarm, commented, &ldquo China&rsquo s demand for durians has remained strong despite the COVID-19 pandemic and Thailand is the only country that can export fresh durians to China.
 
Specialised knowledge, industry experience and network are required in the durian trade, particularly when it comes to the cross-border trade of fresh produce, hence there are significant barriers of entry in this industry.
 
With China&rsquo s durian supply relying almost entirely on imports, we believe that the growing demand from the Chinese market can provide us with significant opportunities.&rdquo
With the latest announcement, now might be a good time to enter. I see support at 0.42.
