The price of pesticide raw materials has greatly increased since September 2010 due to tight supply and climate effects. Most raw material prices rose 10% compared to last month, with chlorine price up 158%. National energy-saving policies and low prices earlier in 2010 that led producers to sell stored materials contributed to the increases. Pesticide producers are not building short-term storage this year as prices of raw materials will likely remain high through November and December.
In 2014 SCA delivered its highest profit before tax ever and good organic sales growth. We increased our operating profit, excluding items affecting comparability, by SEK 1,468m. We achieved this thanks to the continued work with our strategic priorities – growth, innovation and efficiency.
