In particular, excellent growth came from milks, baby food.

RECOM ENDATIONS M
Overall, the profit and net profit margins remained stable. Overall profit margin showed a slight increase but a slight decline in gross profit margin was witnessed. This was mainly due to cost pressure on some Product as both local and international prices have increased dramatically coupled with investment in commercial and operation infrastructure to support future growth and the resulting inflationary impact on its cost. This robust growth in sales translated into a solid increasing operating profit an increase of 33%. However, this primarily relates to higher fixed cost absorption from inventory that led to lower profitability. In addition, efforts for upcoming years include a favorable movement in sales mix and rigorous fixed cost control.
