Agra First Dividend Payment
Published: 01 Nov 2017

The agriculture- and production sectors are characterised by constant change that brings about new challenges to producers in order to produce sustainably and cost effectively. Adverse factors like drought, deteriorating production circumstances, rising input costs and unstable commodity prices further compounds the difficult circumstances that the agricultural sector is facing, thus requiring more skill and distinct abilities from producers to be successful.

Agra is a key partner and role player in the agricultural sector by providing a wide range of goods and services to the farming community, as well as occupationally directed training in various areas of specialisation.

On the 27th of July 2017 the Agra Ltd Board of Directors announced the approval of a first dividend payment. We are pleased to confirm a dividend declaration of 6% of the issued share capital. The board will recommend to the AGM on the 8th of December 2017 the last date to trade shares on a cum dividend basis will be on 15 December 2017 and the first date to trade ex-dividend will be on 18 December 2017. The record date will be 22 December 2017 and the payment date 31 January 2018.

We would like to thank our loyal customers for their unceasing support, enabling Agra to grow. It is no mean feat to be able to present positive financial results in the current economic climate, and this can be attributed to the unrelenting commitment and hard work by the Agra personnel.
