Food Empire profits rise by 27% to $9.9m in Q3

Thanks to its ingredients business segment in key markets.

Food Empire profits are up by 27% YoY to $9.9m (USD7.29m) in Q3.

According to RHB research, the gradual recovery of oil prices and improvement of foreign currencies is good news for the food and beverage (f&b) manufacturing company as it positively affects the company’s core markets in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) markets.

Russia and other CIS markets account for 60% of Food Empire’s revenue.

Revenue also rose 2.7% YoY to $95.29m (USD$70.1 million) due to increased sales contributions from the group’s upstream projects – an instant coffee plant in India and non-dairy and snacks manufacturing facility in Malaysia.

Analyst Juliana Cai adds that Food Empire is in a good position to tap into the geographies outside its core markets – particularly ASEAN countries – in an effort to diversify its business portfolio.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
