FRN Feronia Inc

Feronia Inc. ("Feronia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FRN) is pleased to
announce that it has commenced its 5,000 hectare oil palm replanting for 2014. 


Replanting commenced on March 15 and is expected to be completed in November. 

Through replanting old palms with new, Feronia is able to increase its
productive areas at far lower costs than through greenfield planting and with
zero deforestation or displacement of local communities. Feronia has no reliance
on deforestation for growth.


Feronia currently has 20,759 hectares of oil palm planted of which 9,723
hectares are producing and 11,036 hectares immature. This is the first year that
trees planted by Feronia since it acquired its palm oil business from Unilever
in September 2009 come into production, with 1,027 hectares planted in 2010 now
producing fresh fruit bunches.


Commenting, Ravi Sood, Executive Chairman of Feronia Inc. said: "Replanting
5,000 hectares in a year is a considerable task but we proved last year that we
have the people and skills to achieve this. 


"Our planting programme is a major value driver for Feronia and the key to our
production growth. By the end of 2014 we expect to have replanted over 17,000
hectares which is rapidly reducing the age profile of our plantations and will,
over the coming years, increase our yields."
