Report this content

"In the third quarter, we continued to grow organically while food price inflation stabilised. Total volumes were stable, with Pick & mix growing faster than Branded packaged products. Profitability increased mainly driven by our continued margin-enhancing activities in Pick & mix. The historically high cocoa price did not significantly impact this quarter", comments President and CEO Katarina Tell.
