- For the latest results, the group’s revenue climbed by 60% to RM47.8m in 1QFY22 from RM30.0m in 1QFY21 thanks tohigher demand of fertilisers and performance recovery post the Enhanced Movement Control Order in the preceding quarter.In line with the higher revenue, the group’s core PATAMI jumped by >100% from RM0.6m in 1QFY21 to RM2.1m in 1QFY22.
- As the group’s demand for fertilisers is particularly driven by the oil palm plantation activities, the adoption of B20 palm oilbiofuel programme by 2022 by the Malaysian government should continue to create demand for fertilizer, thus, improving theperformance of the fertilizer industry.
