Jadi, in its announcement said: “The financial year 2022 has been a challenging year for the Group with the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affecting economies all around the world. Lockdowns initiated by government has created supply shortages and supply chain disruption.
“The Group is now adopting a more prudent approach in managing sales and credit to its customers in order to mitigate credit risk at the expense of lower sales. The Ukraine war, which started in early 2022, will further exacerbate supply shortages leading to inflation and a possibility of global recession.”

Jadi said that “this was partly due to the decreased of sales in China, which was impacted by the international logistics jams, the global chip shortages and lockdown in China that slowing down the demand of compatible cartridges.”
