WITH a pandemic-fuelled bread boom, QAF, the maker of Gardenia bread, has multiplied its net profit 13 times on-year to S$28.2 million for the six months ended June. Read more at The Business Times.

Distribution and warehousing revenue was similarly robust, rising by 13 per cent to S$60 million, mainly contributed by higher domestic sales to retail supermarkets and exports.

The primary production segment was more tepid, with revenue remaining flat. Despite a lower sales volume, the segment benefited from higher average selling prices, given the tightening of general market supply, lower grain prices and better performance from its pork processing business.
