It will rise up again, once speculators exit. Nice buying opportunity.

@deal, don't be so optimistic. The management cites competition from small millers - means they are having trouble coping. Also remember corn products had to wind up.

Unga owns like 2-5% of market share...their growing turnover at 20-30% so their not having trouble...the problem is the high cost of sales which are being driven by high input costs due to high grain costs...with the opening of the Tanzania maize market hopefully Unga will have an alternative cheap source of maize.

Only 16,000 shares have been traded today. I guess someone is trying to bring down the price purposely.

Unga has always been very close to my heart. I guess its coz of the ugali that lands in my stomach.

I don't know why the sudden slump?

Well, the growth in turnover is NOT volumes but 'value' as you know is not good. The price per tonne of grains keeps in increasing thus to sell the same volume requires larger amounts of (costly) financing. See KK & Total as well. With the population growth in EAC, there will be no more 'cheap' sources of grains. Kenya is a net importer of wheat & rice. And a net importer of maize for the past 3 of 5 years. Not good.

That's an oxymoron. You (or anyone else) can bid at a price higher than 12 or offer at higher than 12. 12 was the lowest possible price so 16,000 trading at 12 is a large number for a typically 'illiquid' counter.
Did you put in a bid?
