Yurun revenue down 23%: €1.3 billion for H1 2012
China Yurun Food Group, a a Hong Kong based meat-product processor and supplier in China, has announced its interim results for the first six months of 2012. For H1, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$12.5 billion (€1.3 billion), with gross profit totalling HK$268 million (€28 million).
The Group’s overall gross profit margin was 2.1%, down from 12.6% last year.
The fall in revenue is being attributed to the oversupply of hogs on China markets, and soaring feed prices. Many small farmers were forced to sell due to a sluggish market.
