Revenue declined 3.2% to $126.3m, due to a fall in sales of raw milk powder and soybean powder.
Gross margin increased to 54.9% for the first six months, up from 41.3% the same period last year.
Vice chairman and CFO Liu Hua said: We are very confident in our business and will continue focus on sales of premium products. We will maintain quality and safety first and look forward to bringing value to consumers and our shareholders.”
