GrainCorp, which also forecast a loss for the full year, blamed the prolonged drought in Australia for its poor performance.


GrainCorp said revenues were down 20% to $304.7m compared to the year-ago period due to “significantly lower” grain intake cause by the drought conditions, reported Dow Jones International News.


The fall in revenue was partially offset by the disposal of an equity investment in wheat marketer AWB and an increase in marketing revenue.


Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 47% to $42.2m.
