Sales increased 23.3% to $1.45bn, despite intensifying competition in the market for processed food in China.
“Competition is getting more and more intense,” the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange today (17 March).
Tingyi insisted that it would maintain “proper control over costs, refine the production process and optimize the product mix” to shore up profitability in the face of rising raw materials costs.
