  Anhui CEFC had satisfactory performance in 2014, achieving significant YoY growth of 37% and 275.43% in total revenue and operating profit, respectively.

  
On 10 March, 2015, Anhui CEFC International Holding Co., Ltd. (Anhui CEFC) issued annual report of 2014. The report showed that its business performance had a sharp growth in 2014. In detail, the total revenue was USD881.27 million (RMB5.42 billion), up by 37% over the same period in 2013. The operating profit, total profit and net profit amounted to USD20.22 million (RMB124.28 million), USD20.61 million (RMB126.70 million) and USD17.35 million (RMB106.69 million), increasing by 275.43%, 210.16% and 142.28% year on year respectively.

  
The key drive behind its total revenue's growth was that continual exploitation of domestic and international markets and a soar in the trade volume of agricultural supplies from its wholly-owned subsidiary Anhui Linearfull Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd., whose revenue and net profit reached USD715.89 million (RMB4.40 billion) and USD8.65 million (RMB53.20 million) for the whole year of 2014, separately.

  
In addition, Anhui CEFC enjoyed a year-on-year increase of operating profit and total profit in 2014, which was attributed to the following reasons:

  
On one hand, the performance growth of Anhui Linearfull Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. together with a substantial increase in gain on investment from its shareholder, Shanghai Shounong Investment Holdings Limited, leading to an incremental profit in Anhui CEFC.

  
On the other hand, the rising price of monosultap and cartap, the company's leading products, drove up the products' gross profit margin.
