However, we have faced challenges on the margin front, owing to the sharp, unusual rise in Palm oil prices, which is a key input for our business. We are hopeful this unusual spike will cool off in the near term, which should restore our profitability going forward.

We continue to focus on cost-optimisation and process-engineering, in order to drive a higher bottomline, while keeping our revenues buoyant."
