Cincinnati-based Chiquita, which emerged from bankruptcy protection last year, reported second-quarter profit of $57m, or $1.41 per share, compared with $48m, or $1.19 per share, a year earlier.
The company’s net sales rose to $840m from $397m a year earlier, boosted by the company’s acquisition of fresh produce distributor Atlanta in March.
Chiquita said it expect gross cost cuts in 2003 to exceed its previous target of $40m, reported Reuters.
