LIFTED by improved crushing margins, better performing consumer products and the absence of foreign exchange losses, agribusiness group Wilmar International's net profit for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015, jumped 49.1 per cent to US$241.2 million, from US$161.8 million in the year-ago period.
The bottomline improvement was despite an 8.3 per cent slump in the group's revenues to US$9.41 billion, from US$10.27 billion as a result of lower commodity prices.
