The Hand Protection sector reported a PBT of Rs.398 million compared to Rs.344 million in the previous period. However, the Plantation sector recorded a loss of nearly Rs. 400 million due to lower crop, mainly arising from adverse weather conditions and the ban on weedicides, which further impacted by lower prices during the period.
