Bongrain’s cheese sales, which make up two-thirds of the company’s revenue, recovered in the fourth quarter of 2009 but were still down 5% over the whole year.

The group said sales were hit by lower pricing during 2009.

Bongrain’s full financial figures for the year will be published on 11 March.
