The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the livestock and aquatic feed businesses, sales volumes declined as the company focused on profitability, but profit increased due to higher gross profit and favorable raw material market conditions. The food business reported lower profit due to persistently high egg prices and increased depreciation expenses following the start-up of a new plant, although reforms to its earnings structure progressed.
