Fraser and Neave net profit up 16% to $83.4m

Fraser and Neave's net profit was driven by higher beer sales during the pandemic.

Fraser and Neave, Limited (F&N)'s net profit rose by 16% to $83.4m for the first half of the year.

In a press statement, the food group said its beverages and dairies businesses drove its profit for the six-month period.

Its food and beverage division's revenue rose by 3% to $868.1m in the first half, driven by beer and soft drink sales. Dairies revenue rose by 1%, driven by exports to Middle East and Africa and higher canned milk sales.

However, revenue in their publishing and printing business declined by 9% to $115.4m due to cancellation and deferment of print orders, closure of borders, and dampened customer sentiment.

Over the last six months, F&N acquired Malaysia-based Sri Nona Group of Companies, and entered into the halal food business.

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.
