Oman’s Raysut Cement Co booked a 43.8 per cent YoY rise in net profit to OMR7.32m (US$19m) for the first quarter of 2007, driven by improvements in production and marketing.  
 
Raysut Cement Co produced 507,418t of cement and 417,500t of clinker, an increase of 22 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively.  
 
The company’s total revenue soared to OMR13.6m (US$35.3m) from OMR10.6m (US$27.5m), and its gross profit went up to OMR6.8m (US$17.7m) from OMR5.5m (US$14.3m).
