Juhayna Food Industries (JUFO.CA) is looking to cut investments in 2017, without citing a specific figure, due to a challenging macroeconomic environment and lower consumer purchasing power, said the company CEO, Seif El Din Thabet. The company is planning to raise prices by 5-10% during the year, he added, expecting 1Q17 earnings to decline, but 2Q17 to show an improvement.
