These losses were due to a 19% year-on-year (YoY) decrease in the six-month sales. This came as a result of restructuring the sales management and adjusting the sales and credit policies for customers to boost near-term efficiency.
The Saudi-listed company also witnessed a decline in selling prices and sales volumes of the potato sticks products in H1 2025. In addition, it is facing new market entrants in the pasta division, compared to the same period in 2024, which pushed pasta products’ sales volumes lower.
These factors combined have led to a 26% fall in sales from the pasta factory. Another 30% and 4% sales drops were witnessed in the vegetables and the breakfast cereals plants, respectively.
This negative performance came despite a 106% YoY leap in sales from the meat factory during the first six months of 2025.
