making lots of profit from 2009 till now, but never generate free cash flow, so when will the profit convert to cash

or maybe the profit will never generate to cash, that is why the income have been dropping so much recently, to signal the profit will not materialize?

Interestingly, Orbis Funds has increased their stake in Olam and has a 8% stake now.

Orbis is a long term absolute return fund.

Disclosure : I am long Olam, mainly because Temasek is the major shareholder

I encourage you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that I write about, because I could be and probably am wrong.

Nothing written here is an invitation to buy or sell any particular stock.

At most, I am handing out an educated guess as to what the markets may do.

The market will always find a new way to make a fool out of me (and maybe, even you!).

Even the best strategies of the past fail, sometimes spectacularly, when you least expect it.

I am not immune to that, so please understand that any past success of mine will probably be followed by failures

Good results by Olam.

By the way, I thought Olam was going to be privatised? How come still listed?

Temasek offered to be major shareholder but has no real intention of delisting it.

Olam will probably see much better days but when, I don't know. Hope to sell it off during the next commodity supercycle.
