“Similarly, the recent surge in fuel, energy, and labor costs impacted cost of sales as well as operating expenses, which also rose 25%. As a result, gross profit was P591.9 million, representing a gross margin of 11% compared to 14% in the first half of 2021, and operating profit was P241.9 million,” it added.
The segment added a total of 13 HRI customers including some leading fastfood chains, providing custom product and menu development suited to customer specifications, quality, and cost requirements. “Specifically, pricing increased 14% compared to the year-ago period versus input costs at 23%. As expected, pricing had an unfavorable impact on volume which slightly contracted by 7%,” it added.

As a result, some poultry growers cut costs either by reducing volume or using feed input alternatives, while some carried out price hikes and passed on the increased cost to consumers,” Vitarich said.
