Tongaat outlines unrest-related cost; reports interim net loss

JSE-listed sugarcane and maize producer Tongaat Hulett’s operating profit for the six months ended September 30 fell by 23% year-on-year to R1.3-billion. This movement mainly reflects the impact of lower sugar production in the company’s South African operation, increased expenses in Zimbabwe and the R183-million benefit from the profit on disposal of the Namibian packaging operation in the prior period.
