Agthia Group PJSC, the region’s leading food and beverages company, held today, its General Assembly Meeting in a virtual setting. The meeting concluded with the Group’s shareholders approving the board’s proposal for an interim cash dividend payment of 8.25 fils per share for the first half of 2021. This is equivalent to AED 65.31 million. In the first half of the year, the Group witnessed promising top- and bottom-line growth, exemplifying its vision for growth.
