I LLOVO SUGAR   (MALAWI) L IMITED

Flood Disaster ResponseDuring the first quarter of 2015 the Company rallied to the assistance of tens of thousandsof people affected by extreme flooding in the southern region of the country where Illovo’sNchalo agricultural and factory operations are situated.

The lower Shire Valley area was the most affected by

regional cyclonic activity which commenced in mid-

January and brought with it heavy rains to the area

amounting to around 550 mm, representing almost three

times the long term mean for the month. More than 250

people lost their lives and in excess of 250 000 people

were displaced in what was described as the worst

floods since 1967.

While relief assistance was provided by the Government

supported by a range of NGOs including Médecins Sans

Frontières (MSF), the Red Cross, UNICEF and others, the

staff and family members of Illovo Malawi also workedclosely with the Government in their relief operations and

offered various types of assistance which included:

•  Providing Company-owned land at Nchalo for three

relief camps housing around 3 000 displaced people;

•  Supplying clean water to the camp inhabitants as well

as medical services where these were required;

•  Making donations of tarpaulins (used for making

shelters), sugar, maize and sizeable cash contributions

for relief efforts and also providing electricity to the

various camps via standby generators;

•  Providing access to the company’s air strip for the

Malawi Defence Force and other relief teams as a

base for rescue operations and also provided for their

accommodation needs.

Main picture: Clean water for drinking and cooking was provided by the Companyvia mobile water tanks to some 3 000 residents of the relief camps on Company land.

OVERVIEWOperations at both Nchalo and Dwangwa commenced

later than planned due to wet weather at the beginning

of the season. Plant reliability performance at Nchalo

was below expectation for the season which impacted

negatively on sugar production. Dwangwa had a

generally satisfactory performance for the season.

Overall sugar cane production for the season totalled

2.4 million tons of which 450 000 tons, representing

19% of total cane harvested, was sourced from

outgrowers. Final sugar production for the season

totalled 283 000 tons.

Overall sugar sales into the local and export markets

amounted to 273 000 tons. The domestic marketaccounted for over 50% of these volumes. The

balance was exported to Europe, North America and

the region. Sales into regional markets were below

expectation mainly as a result of the importation of

cheap world market sugar into the region and import

license restrictions implemented by the Zimbabwean

authorities, all but halting sugar sales into this

traditional market. Adverse market pricing pressure

and Euro weakness also impacted sales revenue from

EU markets.

Economic conditions during the year were challenging

with significant exchange and interest rate movements,

resulting in negligible growth in the local market andan overall decline in operating margins. Continuous

improvement and cost containment initiatives remained

an area of focus. Overall, in terms of the year’s financial

results, profit from operations declined by 18% to

K 23 billion, with headline earnings declining by 28%.

OPERATIONS

CANE GROWING

Adverse weather conditions affected both estates

with Nchalo experiencing heavy rains during April

2014 at the commencement of the harvesting season

and again during January and February 2015 when

extremely heavy rains resulted in mass flooding in the

Chikhwawa area. Conversely very dry conditions were

experienced mid- to late-season during the period

August to December 2014. Dwangwa was similarly

affected by adverse weather conditions during April

2014 with harvesting operations delayed by heavy

rainfall. Power interruptions from the national gridagain affected irrigation supplied to both the miller-

cum-planter and outgrowers’ cane. Outbreaks of

thryps, red spider mite and yellow aphid infestations

were experienced at Nchalo, and Dwangwa was

affected by an outbreak of yellow aphids. These pest

and diseases were well controlled through spraying

programmes. Despite these setbacks, the Nchalo

operations achieved slightly better cane yields and

higher sucrose content cane than achieved in the

previous season, with Dwangwa’s own agricultural

operations and outgrowers recording record harvested

production.

Overall sugar cane production totalled 2.4 million tons.

th markd rdction in xport sals into th rgion,

togthr with th challnging conomic fndamntals

in Malawi, particlarly in rspct of xchang rat

PROSPECTS

Sgar prodction for th 2014/15 sason is xpctd

to b similar to that achivd last yar.

It is xpctd that factory prformanc at Nchalo will
