To quote from the
interim report:
"Revenue in the 13 weeks to 26 June 2021 was
9.6% ahead of the same period last year, with corresponding volumes up
7.7% reflecting strong retail demand and increased sales from the poultry facility. Revenue growth also reflected the gradual but sustained recovery of the food-to-go and food service channel.
The UK pig price increased by
12% during the period; the average price across the quarter to June 2021 was
9% below that in the equivalent period a year earlier."
On Outlook:
"The outlook for the current financial year remains
in line with the Board’s expectations.
The Board is confident that continued focus on the strengths of the Company, which include its longstanding customer relationships, breadth and quality of products, robust financial position and industry leading asset infrastructure, will support the further successful development of the Group during the current year and over the longer term."
