Indeed. I find this part quite encouraging. "The plant has been easing toward full production for months. On this day in late 2021 it was going to process about 60 tonnes of seed, which is about 80 percent of what is hoped to be full capacity with present equipment."

They said 60 MT of seed, not final product. What do you get from 60 MT of seed that can be sold?

Thanks Stevem for this important article containing more info on Merit plant than we have ever read. Promising. Running at 80% capacity in last december. Close to expansion maybe this year. Would like to know prices per ton finish products.
