Abu Dhabi-based food and beverage maker Agthia Group is shifting into online sales and home deliveries to help offset the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on its business.
The company has introduced its own e-commerce website, and sales through retailers’ online platforms are growing, CEO Alan Smith said in an interview on Wednesday.
Despite a 50 percent plunge in Agthia’s net income in the first half, “we have a fairly positive outlook for the rest of the year,” he said. Smith, who took over as CEO on July 7, didn’t give figures for any areas of the company’s business.
