August 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, provides an August production update for its Ayenouan palm oil project in Côte d'Ivoire ('Palm Oil Operation') and commentary on monthly production at the cashew processing plant at Tiebissou, Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Cashew Operation').
Key Performance Metrics: August 2026 vs. August 2025
· Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Production: CPO production decreased by 10.3% in August 2026 compared to August 2025, as the Palm Oil Operation continued through its seasonal low period. Encouragingly, early September data suggests we have now passed the low season trough, with CPO production levels beginning to improve. CPO sales volumes fell by 25.7%, reflecting the timing of sales as the Company sought to optimise realised pricing. CPO continues to be sold into the domestic market, where demand remains strong. The CPO extraction rate remained stable at 19.4% compared to August 2025.
· CPO Sales Prices: CPO selling prices remained broadly stable at €945 per tonne during the month, a decrease of 1.2% compared to August 2025 (€956 per tonne). As noted previously, local CPO prices continue to trade at a discount to international CPO prices, which remain elevated at above €1,200 per tonne.
· Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) Sales and Prices: PKO sales prices increased to €1,334 per tonne, representing an increase of 10.3% compared to August 2025. As anticipated in last month's update, PKO production remained at elevated levels during August, up 114.5% year-on-year, reflecting the higher than normal kernel stock on hand flagged previously.
· Cashew Operation: Raw Cashew Nut (RCN) Processing: The Cashew Operation continued its positive momentum including:
o RCN processed totalling 681 tonnes in August 2026, an increase of 16.3% compared to August 2025.
o Cashew production and sales volumes increasing materially year-on-year, up 66.6% and 113.7% respectively.
o Detailed quarterly production and sales data for the Cashew Operation will be reported in October 2026.

Youval Rasin, Dekel's Chief Executive Officer, said: "Our Palm Oil Operation remained in its seasonal low period, with CPO production down 10.3% year-on-year. Encouragingly, early September data suggests we have now passed the low season trough, with CPO production levels beginning to improve. Our Palm Kernel Oil volumes were strong, with production up 114.5% following the elevated kernel stock levels we flagged last month. Our Cashew Operation continued to perform well, with RCN processed up 16.3% year-on-year to 681 tonnes, and cashew production and sales up 66.6% and 113.7% respectively. We remain confident in the Cashew Operation's continued solid growth year on year heading into the fourth quarter."
