Lower maize and soya meal costs due to an improved international stock situation, has benefited both broiler and egg production costs and contributed to the improved results for the current financial period. A further contribution to the improved results for the current financial period is that egg selling prices have improved slightly due to a balanced supply and demand in the market. Quantum Foods’ broiler business also returned to profitability due to the re-engineering of the Western Cape business model, as well as improved volumes and cost efficiencies at the Company’s Hartebeespoort abattoir. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors.
