Juhayna attributed its lower profits to “a nearly 23% surge in cost of goods sold” due to rising raw material prices and increased finance expenses.

Sales were up 15% to EGP1bn. Growth was supported by strong expansion in its dairy business which gained 26% in value terms and saw 12% volume growth.
