Saudi Arabia Fertilizers Co. (SAFCO) reported a net profit of SAR 647.7 million for the first half of 2018, an increase of 3 percent increase year-on-year (YoY), thanks to higher sales volumes and average selling prices of urea.

 

A decline in the company's profit share from Ibn Al-Baytar Co. has partially offset the positive impact of improved sales and prices.
