As at the end of the April-June period, revenue grew by 14.6 percent to N155 billion from N135 billion recorded in the previous year.

The increase was as a result of notable improvements in its business value chains in comparison to the previous year.

Flour mills Nigeria saw a 9 percent increase in cost of sales to N129 billion compared to N118 billion in June 2019 and gross profit for the period was N25.5 billion, a 55 percent increase from N16.4 billion recorded in the preceding year.

Flour mill’s tax position for the first half of 2020 increased to N1.4 billion from N1.2 billion for the same period in 2019.
