Olam forecasts higher coffee prices, Q3 profit up 18%
Agri-commodity trader turns in positive free cash flow due to working capital optimisation measures
Singapore

Its chief executive Sunny Verghese told this to a results briefing on Wednesday as the commodities trader reported a 17.5 per cent growth in third-quarter net profit on higher sales volume and improved operational performance.
