Juhayna Food Industries (JUFO.CA) is currently considering increasing the prices of most products by c20% in 2016, according to its CEO Seif El Din Thabet who said that the move comes as a result of FX shortages and EGP devaluation, which has led to a c20% increase in production costs during the past period. On another note, Juhayna achieved a 20% Y-o-Y sales increase in the first two weeks of Ramadan 2016, which is less than the company’s forecasted 33%.
