Group revenue for the company, which is in the process of being acquired by Premier Group in a share swap deal, increased by 1.6% to R8.1 billion, with regional revenue up 4.1% to R6.6bn. The total dividend fell 10.4% to 99.6 cents a share.

RFG management said the impact of the increased tariffs on South African exports to the US remained uncertain. However, the higher tariffs had reduced RFG's price competitiveness, and some existing customers were sourcing from producers in countries with a tariff advantage relative to South Africa.

“In response to the risk to sales, the group is implementing contingency plans to increase exports into other existing geographies and to pursue new market opportunities,” management said.
