Nairobi, Jan. 12 -- Agricultural firm Sasini reported a net profit of Sh177.3 million in the year ended September 2025, helped by higher sales and an increase in the value of its plantations.

The company had posted a net loss of Sh562.8 million the year before. Despite the return to profitability, the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm maintained its suspension of dividend payouts for the second year.

"In view of the results, the directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend," the company said in a statement.

Sasini last paid a dividend of Sh0.5 per share or a total of Sh114.2 million in the year to September 2023 when its net income fell 53.5 percent to Sh542.5 million from the prior year's Sh1.16 billion.
