All core segments reported growth in both revenue and profits for 1Q2021 on the back of strong performance across all its core businesses . Results for the quarter were further aided by a reversal of mark - to - market losses on hedging derivatives recorded in the last quarter of 2020. In addition , good manufacturing margins were recognised in the Feed & Industrial Products segment . Profit for the Plantation & Sugar Milling segment was also higher for the quarter , supported by stronger commodity prices in 1Q2021 and the capitalisation of maintenance costs during the sugar milling off - season . These maintenance costs will be amortised over the sugar milling season . The results were further boosted by favourable contributions from the Group's associates and joint ventures during the quarter , as well as non - operating gains from the Group's investment activities . Core profit for the quarter improved by 38.3 % to US $ 423.7 million ( 1Q2020 : US $ 306.4 million ) .
