Riyadh, Saudi Arabia— Savola Group of Saudi Arabia has posted a 36 percent jump in profits to $173 million in the first nine months of 2022, on the back of higher sales from the food processing unit.
This is up 36 percent from $127 million in the same period last year, coupled with a 20 percent revenue jump to $5.60 billion, the food giant said in a bourse filing.
