Fair enough.

But if SIAF can offer some incentive to accelerate collections, the pay off could be enormous for shareholders, as it offers a real cash flow boost; therefore, obviates the need to finance through equity.

Agreed. Many agricultural and commodities companies even have to give a 6- month credit since their customers typically take longer to turn those commodities into a selling product than companies selling say mechanical or electronic parts. YONG last year reduced their credit from 6- month to 3-month terms and was able to reduce their fast growing A/R some.
