Indonesian palm oil giant Astra Agro Lestari posted impressive financial results in the first quarter of 2014. The company recorded a 120 percent jump in net profit to IDR 784.6 billion (USD $68.8 million) in Q1-2014, particularly due to the higher palm oil price (increasing 38 percent in January-February 2014) as well as the stronger Indonesian rupiah exchange rate in the first quarter. The company budgeted IDR 3 trillion for capital expenditure (capex) in 2014, financed by internal cash reserves and bank loans, for plantation development (30 percent), construction of a CPO processing plant (40 percent), and infrastructure (30 percent).
