CPJ reports 8% increase in consolidated revenue

 
Caribbean Producers Jamaica (CPJ) has reported an 8% increase in consolidated revenue totalling US$80.2 million for the six months ending June 2025 compared with the corresponding period last year. 
 
The growth was driven largely by the successful launch of the Straight Vibes brand, a collaboration with Trinidad-based Angostura, which the company says has exceeded expectations.
 
CPJ credited the brand's strong debut to its team agility and effective partnership execution even on a compressed timeline. 
 
There was also notable growth in the company's meats, seafood, dairy and non-alcoholic beverage segments despite tough market conditions. 
 
But profitability took a hit with elevated fulfillment costs, particularly in its St. Lucia operations, eroding gross profit margins. 
 
As a result, gross profit remained flat year on year. 
 
Earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortization for the period came in at US$6.9 million, marking a 16?cline from the second half of 2023.
