    just found this stock while working through a list of agricultural stocks.
    a few things caught my eye
    - while the stock code here on hotcopper is SGL, the stock code on asx.com.au, comsec, selfwealth etc is SGLLV.
    (idk why a 5 letter stock code is used either)
    - there is near zero comment activity on this stock other than asx bot announcements.
    - Admission to Official List on 5 Apr 2019 (stock code reused from a previous delisting in 2009)
    - A Class Shares confer on their holders the right to vote at general meetings but no right to dividends
    - B Class Shares are quoted on the ASX and confer on their holders the right to receive dividends
    - B Class Shares do not have the right to vote at general meetings
    - growers mentioned in the constitution (I'm not clear on the scope of rights assigned to growers)
    - some value adding activities via post harvest processing, storage and marketing.
    - acquisition of branded downstream products.
    - directors acquire shares on 06/08 of each year, not linked to a rise in share price pre/post announcement to market.
    - charts of rice commodity prices do not align with movements in the share price.
    - there's a few significant spikes and dips in share price I haven't made sense of yet.

    rice commodity prices
    - low 9.78 in Sept 2018, high $19.07 in August 2020.
    july 2020 $11.39 up to 15.89 in March 2022.

    similar chart to markets.*.com above.

    I'm not seeing a SP movement reflecting the huge increase in rice harvest volume difference between 2020 & 2021.

    either this stock is due for a massive correction on the back of the increased volumes or the board have failed to materialise profits from the increased volume.
