At the retail level, Roche’s turnover rose 51% year-on-year, mainly due to higher prices against the backdrop of lower exports to key importing regions, the same source said.
Fertilizer sales went up by 44% this year compared to last, mainly because the prices went up and exports decreased because of the bad economy.
The gross margin was $70.38 billion, up from $55.22 billion the year before. This was mostly due to an increase in sales prices, which offset increases in raw material costs, including ammonia and sulfur.
