Debt Reduction / Stronger LeverageHalving net debt and refinancing on better terms materially improves financial flexibility and lowers interest burden. This creates headroom to fund capex, complete Project Optimus, and smooth payouts, increasing resilience to cyclical crop swings and supporting multi‑period strategic plans.
Material Improvement In Cash GenerationA large uplift in operating and free cash flow indicates earnings are converting to real cash, enabling reinvestment and debt reduction. Higher cash conversion enhances funding for processing expansion and working capital, reducing reliance on external financing across 2–6 months and beyond.
Expanding Processing Capacity (Project Optimus)Near‑term capacity expansion to 50,000 tonnes raises scale for processing and value‑added formats, supporting higher throughput and mix shift to margin‑accretive products. Greater capacity drives operating leverage and strengthens competitive positioning in domestic and export ingredient markets.
