CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
RW OttermannChairman
The 2015/2016 season will be remembered as a very challenging period in the history of tobacco growing in South Africa. One of the most severe droughts and exceedingly high summer temperatures caused havoc in all the growing areas, seriously affecting quality and yields. These and other challenges are not new to the primary industry, but the positive manner in which they were handled, shows the character of the parties involved.
Globally the attack on the tobacco industry is fierce, and we as LTP group, will not be immune to the consequences of these challenges. Government is currently considering the implementation of plain packaging and retail display restrictions for all tobacco products. If implemented, it will have a severe effect on the local tobacco industry. Both, the primary- and secondary industries, and in particular LTP and BATSA, are working together closely to address this looming crisis.
2016 was the first year after the restructuring of LTP took place. The transition of the Flue Cured tobacco pool from LTP to Tobacco Producer Development (Pty) Ltd went smoothly. Both, the producers and staff, are comfortable with the changes. The exceptional effort of
The Board and Management are committed to continuously position the
Company strategically to ensure that tobacco producers are sustainable.
LTP HOLDINGS (PTY) LTD
2016 TOBACCO POOL Annual Report 2016 5
management and staff to make this transition possible, can be applauded.
A pilot project was established in Skuinsdrift to develop emerging black farmers into becoming self-sustained commercial producers. The curing and handling facilities have been put in place and the first harvest was successfully cured and delivered. The drought, however, adversely affected these crops when the Marico dam ran empty during the growing season. The effective use of the limited water resources in this area must be addressed by investing in an irrigation system that is reliable and cost effective. Because of the continued drought, and no irrigation water available, no tobacco could be planted for the 2016/2017 growing season.
The Tobacco Agricultural Primary Co-operative Limited (“TAC”) has been established by tobacco growers, in collaboration with Unigro, to operate a hail protection fund. TAC has been established to reduce the hail insurance costs for producers. Many thanks to the producers participating in this hail protection pool. Although it is not a guaranteed scheme, TAC belongs to its members and they can thus amend the rules in the future. This idea can be used to pool the risks for the other crops, and even assets.
A priority of LTP is the continuous improvement of the profitability of our producers. To achieve this, the quality of tobacco produced needs to be improved and the relative costs of production reduced. LTP, in collaboration with its producers and agronomists, have an enormous task to ensure the continuous improvement of the quality of the crop. This will help to alleviate the pressure on high input costs and ultimately increase every farmer’s return on investments. BATSA has again confirmed their support for the South African industry by placing an order for a substantial portion of the 2016/2017 crop.
To keep future costs in check, it is important that the factory be continuously upgraded and that maintenance of all our assets is up to date. Any reduction in the size of the crop places an additional burden on unit costs of LTP, with interest cost being a special concern. With nearly total reliance on the support of Land Bank to finance its operations, the ever increasing value of tobacco outperforms the value of securities available from LTP. This may, in future, force the Board to reconsider alternative methods of payments to producers.
The Board Committees have in recent years made a huge contribution to ease the task of the Board and also to ensure that the Board obtains assurance that Management functions according to the approved policies and procedures.
The Board and Management are committed to continuously position the Company strategically to ensure that tobacco producers are sustainable.
I wish to thank my fellow directors, management, staff, producers, buyers, service providers and suppliers for your contribution to the successful completion of the 2016 crop.
May 2017 be a blessed season for everybody.
RW OttermannChairman

2016 TOBACCO POOL Annual Report 20166
C van StadenManaging Director
The 2015/2016 tobacco crop was without doubt the most difficult crop to process and to market since the existence of LTP. Extremely unfavourable growing conditions with little rain and very high day temperatures in all the production areas has caused nicotine levels of all plant positions to be outside the prescribed specifications set by the industry. This meant that a significant amount of tobacco produced was not fit for sale. Some cultivars have handled the conditions better than others but the use of too much nitrogen has only worsened the situation.
British American Tobacco South Africa (BATSA) has placed an order for 90% of the crop, but LTP could only manage to sell 70% of the crop to BATSA. Tobacco Traders has bought almost 15% of LTP’s crop, the most in recent times, a trend that will continue in the future with the establishment of alternative markets. The balance of the crop was packed as stock, expecting to market it over the next two years.
These events further more increased the pressure on the economic viability of tobacco production and is reflected in the decline (3,732 – 3,210) of planned hectares for 2016/2017. This drift is a major concern for the Board and Management. Fortunately BATSA has once again confirmed their support for the local industry by approving a 15% increase in sales prices for 2016/2017 with an order of 95% of the total crop, considering a larger global tobacco crop and a weaker US$ against other relevant currencies. With BATSA’s support, coupled with better growing conditions and an increase in dam and river levels, management expects that the 2016/2017 crop year might be a record year for LTP, if producers best utilize the circumstances and produce and deliver a top quality crop.

2016 TOBACCO POOL Annual Report 2016 9
Limpopo Tobacco Processors (Pty) Ltd
The Company is a 60% subsidiary of LTP Holdings (Pty) Ltd.
The Company’s main income source is from the processing of tobacco and the rental of property.
From 2016 TPD facilitates the tobacco pool for the South African Flue Cured tobacco producers.
The tobacco pool is season driven, which commences in January/February of each year after the first tobacco has been delivered.
The pool is finalised as soon as all the tobacco has been sold and the debtors have been recovered, as well as all other transactions of that pool are completed. To finalise a pool, it may be necessary to “sell” surplus tobacco to the next pool. The value of any surplus tobacco is calculated at 90% of the current selling price. Provision for interest cost to carry the stock will also be created against the current pool. Any profits/losses regarding the sales of this surplus tobacco will be for the next pool. The finalisation of the pool usually occurs by the end of February of the following year.
The Company also buys or processes tobacco from other companies and this business is used for creation of reserves, to support the pool and to increase thru-put. The Board of Directors aims to create reserves to the amount of at least 1% of pool turnover.
The Company also processes tobacco (Dark Air Cured tobacco) from Universal Leaf South Africa to increase the thru-put and therefore decreases unit cost.
Social responsibility
The Tobacco Producer Development Trust has received an ex-gratia amount from the tobacco pool through TPD of R226 285. The Trust will use the funds for bursaries and/or training of agricultural students or new emerging producers.
Sun Cured tobacco
LTP’s direct input to previously disadvantage small scale farmers to produce Sun Cured tobacco and other crops total R5 256 742 for 2016 (2015: R7 292 209).
Mentor fees of R280 846 were paid to Mobile Agri Skills Development & Training (NPC) (“MASDT”) to make a contribution to the remuneration of specific persons that gave training to the Sun Cured producers.
LTP’s indirect contribution for 2016 were:
• Interest subsidization: R604 525
• Processing cost subsidization: R297 696
Emerging farmers: Flue Cured tobacco
LTP’s direct cost associated with the establishment of Flue Cured tobacco producers in Skuinsdrift amounts to R2 377 260 (2015: R1 112 957).
Capital expenditure to date is R3 057 384.
Any new plantings and development will take place under the stewardship of TPD.
General
The processing results of LTP and the pool results of TPD will be reflected in the Directors’ report and the operating results will be reflected in the financial statement.
The consolidated FCV tobacco pool will not be finalised, due to the reporting date of 31 December 2016.
The outstanding price adjustment (LTP) and outstanding deferred payments will be reflected as a pool creditor in the annual financial statements of TPD. The costs to finalise the pool will also be reflected as pool creditors in either LTP’s or TPD’s annual financial statements.
The 2015 pool was finalised and closed on 29 February 2016.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
2016 TOBACCO POOL Annual Report 2016 23
The Tobacco Producer Development Trust
The Tobacco Producer Development Trust (“TPD Trust”) is the holding entity of Tobacco Development Investment Holdings (RF) (Pty) Ltd (“TDIH”) and Tobacco Producer Development (Pty) Ltd (“TPD”). The TPD Trust receives an ex-gratia amount from TPD to assist agronomy students or emerging farmers with bursaries and/or training.
Tobacco Producer Development (Pty) Ltd (“TPD”)
The Company is a 100% subsidiary of The Tobacco Producer Development Trust.
The Company’s main income source is from the purchasing of tobacco from both commercial and emerging producers. TPD facilitates since 2016 the tobacco pool for the South African Flue Cured tobacco producers. The tobacco pool is season driven, which commences in January/February of each year after the first tobacco has been delivered.
The pool is finalised as soon as all the tobacco has been sold and the debtors have been recovered, as well as all other transactions of that pool. A price adjustment according to the rules stated in the contracts between the two companies is then paid from Limpopo Tobacco Processors (Pty) Ltd (“LTP”) to Tobacco Producer Development (Pty) Ltd (“TPD”). The finalisation of the pool usually occurs by the end of February of the following year.
Social responsibility
The Tobacco Producer Development Trust has received an ex-gratia amount from the tobacco pool through TPD of R226 285. The TPD Trust will use the funds for bursaries and/or training of agricultural students or new emerging producers.
Emerging farmers: Flue Cured tobacco
TPD’s direct cost associated with the establishment of Flue Cured tobacco producers in Skuinsdrift amounts to R126 738.
R1 144 500 will be spend in 2017 on stabilising the irrigation needs on the project.
Agronomy services: all producers
