While the year-over-year results of the first quarter have improved, Management remains cautiously optimistic about the trend, keeping in mind the lingering effects of COVID and the African Swine Fever that have hampered sales in the last couple of years.

Management believes that continued prudent cash and resource management is key to maintaining growth throughout the year, and has set this as a company goal.
“Continued interest in the company’s powdered products currently in development, along with establishment of new markets for industrial Dextrans, could propel us toward our goal to continue the improvement trend throughout the balance of the year,” said George Usher, President and CEO. “Additionally,” he added, “although supply chain logistics have been a major issue throughout the global pandemic era, we have managed to retain higher than normal inventory levels in preparation for future sales as the opportunities arise.”
