Sumpo Food Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the period, the board of directors expects that the results of the company and its subsidiaries may experience a significant decline as compared to the profit for the corresponding period in 2011. The decline is mainly due to the decrease in gross profit margin of the group as a result of the escalating raw material prices and operating costs, and the decrease in the fair value of the biological assets mainly due to the decrease in market selling prices of chicken meat products during the period.
