The board of directors of C.P. Pokphand Co. Ltd. announced that, based on preliminary estimates, the consolidated profit attributable to the owners of the company for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is expected to record an increase of approximately 80% as compared with the corresponding period in 2013. Such increase in profit was mainly attributable to an improvement in the farming operations in Vietnam as compared to the first half of 2013, notwithstanding a slight reduction in the Group's profit from China.
