Palm oil price weakness hits Wilmar's Q4 profit
But higher volumes in some segments help to cushion impact; net profit drops 16% as revenue slides 12.5%

Net profit for the three months ended Dec 31, 2015, fell 16 per cent from the previous year to US$337.18 million, Wilmar said in a Singapore Exchange filing on Thursday.
