Zambeef flags higher local currency earnings

The AIM-traded, Zambia-based food producer said the improvement reflected robust underlying operations, disciplined overhead management and transactional cost savings on imported inputs following the kwacha’s appreciation at the turn of the calendar year.

It also said operating profit had continued to grow year-on-year, supported by a reduction in Zambia’s monetary policy rate to 13.25% from 14.5% earlier in the year and a stabilisation in electricity supply.

Zambeef said it remained cautious for the second half, citing constrained consumer spending, Middle East-related pressure on fuel and fertiliser costs, and potential operational disruption around Zambia’s August elections.

Interim results were expected by the end of June.

At 1100 BST, shares in Zambeef Products were up 5.26% at 5p.
