Zhujiang Brewery increased its operating income from beer sales by 0.46%, at the same time, sales profitability increased by 0.83 percentage point to 42.02%.
The decline in incomes from leasing catering services and the costs increase in this sector also had a negative impact on the final result of the activity. Note that the policy of limiting the number of banquets is called one of the reasons of the Chinese beer market drop.
