Headline earnings were up by 10% to R1.
According to the group, the sugar business reported its second highest profit ever this period, aided by improved mill recoveries and efficiencies, as well as maintained local demand amid reduced industry supply.

Overall, the value-added segment of the business reported a 7.4% rise on revenue to R21.
