Dekel Agri-Vision Plc
('Dekel' or the 'Company')
April Palm Oil Production Update and Cashew Operation Update
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc (AIM: DKL), the West African agriculture company focused
on building a portfolio of sustainable and diversified projects, is pleased to
provide an April production update for its Ayenouan palm oil project in Côte
d'Ivoire ('Palm Oil Operation') and an update at the cashew processing plant
at Tiebissou, Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Cashew Operation').
Key Performance Metrics: April 2026 vs. April 2025
· Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Production: A material increase of 43.6% in
CPO production was achieved in April 2026 compared to April 2025, marking one
of the strongest April performances on record. While the CPO high season has
likely passed its peak, the Company expects May 2026 production to also exceed
May 2025 levels, highlighting a period of positive momentum. The CPO
extraction rate for April 2026 was 21.3%, remaining at solid levels despite
being marginally lower than the prior year.
· CPO Sales Prices: CPO selling prices remained robust at €947
per tonne during the month. Local prices softened slightly in April due to
increased local supply during the high season. Encouragingly, international
CPO prices remain elevated, trading above €1,200 per tonne, and, if
sustained, are expected to support stronger local pricing as the year
progresses.
· Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) Sales and Prices: PKO sales were a
particularly strong contributor to the Palm Oil Operation's performance, with
sales volumes in April 2026 increasing by 106.2% compared to April 2025. PKO
sales prices remained very strong at €1,306 per tonne, only marginally lower
than the high levels achieved in April 2025.
· Cashew Operation: Raw Cashew Nut (RCN) Processing:
o As announced last month, RCN processing returned to full operations during
March, with April continuing to deliver solid performance, processing just
under 700 tonnes of RCN.
o Cashew sales volumes and prices remained stable, reflecting steady
underlying demand.
o Quarterly production and sales data for the Cashew Operation will be
reported in July 2026.

Youval Rasin, Dekel's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are very pleased with
the strong performance of our Palm Oil Operation in April, with CPO production
increasing by 43.6% year-on-year, marking one of our best April results on
record. This reflects the strength of the high season, with momentum expected
to continue into May. CPO prices remained at high levels during the month, and
with international prices continuing at elevated levels, supportive CPO sales
pricing conditions are expected to continue."
