Factors Undermined Growth (I)
Short Term Influences Undermined Robust Growth:

Temporary suspension of the co-generation power plant,
the rise in prices of raw materials, packaging materials
and transportation costs affected overall production cost

Some of the plants expansion works delayed due to
shortage of building materials

These influences, however, are seen as temporary; the
Group is confident in its long term growth and profit
margin is expected to improve
