PALM oil plantation company Golden-Agri Resources has said that its operations in the West African country of Liberia are unaffected by the outbreak of Ebola for now, and that there has been no case of the disease within its area of operations.
The company in fact expects to step up on planting this year from last year's level; planting had slowed down then as a result of local social issues.
Its chief financial officer Rafael Concepcion said at a results briefing: "The operations are running as normal, but we have taken preventive measures such as screening people for illnesses and restricting non-essential travel among our employees."
