Feronia Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FRN) ("Feronia" or the "Company"), is pleased to
announce the appointment of Benedict Rich as Managing Director of Plantations et
Huileries du Congo (PHC), the Company's palm oil division.


Mr. Rich has extensive experience managing plantations operations in emerging
markets having held progressively senior roles at Eastern Produce Kenya Ltd.
("EPK"), a tea plantations company in Kenya and New Britain Palm Oil Ltd., a
large-scale palm oil producer in Papua New Guinea. 


In addition to the management of planting and harvesting operations, Mr. Rich
has held responsibility for various aspects of research and development
programmes in both tea and oil palm. He is an ISO qualified internal auditor and
has a keen interest and understanding of sustainability and the environment in
the Palm Oil industry, having helped develop the industry's environmental,
social and sustainability standards whilst at New Britain Palm Oil. 


Mr Rich, who is a British national, is expected to join the company in early
April, 2013. He will be based in the DRC and will report to Feronia's COO,
Raymond Batanga.


Bill Dry, CEO of Feronia Inc. commented: 

"I am pleased to welcome Ben to the Company as the Managing Director of PHC. The
growth of our plantations is and will continue to be through the re-planting of
areas previously planted with oil palm. We therefore have the opportunity to
grow with less impact on the environment than any other major palm oil producer
and aim to be the industry leader in sustainability and environmental
sensitivity. Ben's knowledge and experience in global best practices in
plantation management, particularly with regards to the environment and
sustainability, will be an important factor in us achieving this aim."
