SINGAPORE (Nov 12): Wilmar International, Asia’s leading agribusiness group, reported a 10% y-o-y increase in 3Q19 earnings ended Sept to US$447.1 million (S$608 million).

3Q19 revenue came in 2.2% lower at US$11.2 billion from a year ago due to lower commodity prices.

Wilmar says the stronger bottomline was driven by better results in tropical oils and consumer products as well as the recognition of a gain from the disposal of the group’s discontinued operations in Brazil.
