Japfa’s segments to face uncertainties in higher costs and ASPs

The agri-food firm’s net PATMI declined 73.9%, on a yearly basis.

All sectors of SGX-listed Japfa will be hit by uncertainties of increasing costs and fluctuating average selling prices, said UOB Kay Hian.

A UOB Kay Hian brokerage report found that the firm’s core PATMI declined in 2022. It was impacted by “higher raw material costs, and the weak performance of swine in Animal Protein Other (APO) Vietnam, which recorded an operating loss.” 

Higher prices of swine in Vietnam continued in 2022 due to supply shortage caused by ASF. Broiler and day-old-chick prices are also volatile in Indonesia.

UOB Kay Hian also noted that there is lower-than-expected consumer demand driven by export oriented firms in Vietnam hit by slowdowns in Europe and US markets.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
