FY2018-Q2First statedAnnual report
「By product within the segments, revenue from Food increased as processed foods, sugar, frozen and chilled products, confectionery and alcoholic beverages all performed steadily. 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 increased. In Rice, brown rice sales remained weak, but revenue increased as sales volumes of both household and foodservice milled rice increased, while selling prices also remained firm.」
