The company attributed the increase to the continuous operation of all plants with full capacity, and improvement in the average prices of export, free sale, and agricultural associations. This is in addition to good marketing of its products while opening new markets, flexible sales and marketing policy, the liberalisation of the exchange rate, good financial portfolio management, increasing investment income in invested companies. Sales rose to 16.33 billion pounds at the end of June 2022, from 8.84 billion pounds at the end of June 2021.
