FY2018-Q3First statedAnnual report
「By product within the segments, revenue from Food increased as processed foods, sugar, frozen and chilled products, and confectionery all performed steadily, despite a decline in alcoholic beverages. In Foodservice Products, revenue from flour declined because lower selling prices more than offset higher sales volumes, but overall revenue increased as starch, oils and fats, and foodservice ingredients all performed solidly. In Feed and Livestock, sales volumes of feed to pig and poultry producers remained weak, but revenue from livestock increased because meat sales volumes rose and selling prices remained high. In Rice, brown rice sales remained weak amid high rice prices, but revenue increased as sales volumes of household milled rice remained solid.」
Processed foods, sugar, frozen and chilled products, confectionery, starch, oils and fats, foodservice ingredients, livestock and household milled rice contributed to revenue growth. In contrast, alcoholic beverages, flour, feed and brown rice either reduced revenue or remained sluggish.
