Singapore
OLAM International recorded a 6.1 per cent rise in net profit to S$179.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, from S$168.8 million a year earlier, according to a business update released on Thursday.
This came on the back of S$43.2 million in net exceptional gains in the quarter due to the agri-food giant's divestment of its remaining half stake in Far East Agri, which held its sugar refinery assets in Indonesia.
