A big factor in the success of my investment in TFC and our investment as MIS growers is the price of the sandalwood oil. The biggest risk is whether the large increase in TFC’s supply will flood the market and weaken to the price. Currently, TFC is using $US2,800 per kg in its books while the market price is $US4,500 per kg. (I suspect TFC is using the lower figure to be conservative and to purchase MIS allotments from distressed sellers at very favourable terms.)
The 2016 harvest will be a 10 fold increase in quantity of oil on the 2015 harvest. The supply will be ramping up over the next few years. So there is a considerable risk the market price could weaken with this increase in supply.
So I was very pleased to see TFC has presold its 2016 and 2017 harvest at $US4,500 per kg to a new Chinese customer and an existing Indian customer.
As explained in the Adviser Edge research document quoted in my other post, the Sandalwood trees will continue to increase their yields if left to grow. So I have a theory that TFC will not flood the market. If TFC is not satisfied with the market price of sandalwood oil it will delay the harvest of the trees (my theory). The trees will continue to grow and produce more oil (unlike when De Beers / OPEC leave their diamonds / oil in the ground they do not increase in volume).
In addition, I have stumbled across this graph of forecast demand versus supply from 2015 to 2030. See page 13 of http://www.tfsltd.com.au/files/5 ... tion_Memorandum.pdf
It shows the TFC supply up until 2022 is insignificant when compared to world demand and at its peak of supply is still less than 10% of current world demand (ignoring the forecasts of growth in demand shown in that graph).
Therefore, I believe the $US2,800 per kg used in the books substantially undervalues TFC’s biological assets. |
