Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “During the year ended 31st October 2024 MBJSC Produce Limited, had to continue to navigate high costs surrounding administration and direct costs due to inflation, energy costs did start to slowly reduce during the year which was important for continued operations. The continued lack of produce availability in the country which continued to drive up purchase prices, and with supermarkets still making it difficult to renegotiate selling prices, made it very difficult to meet the profit margins required for the company to prosper and recover from prior year losses.”
- “more talks have been ongoing with our customers to improve terms of contract so we can continue to supply in the future.”
