US distributor United Natural Foods Inc said it achieved “real progress” in fiscal 2012/13, resulting in an increase in full-year sales and earnings.
Earnings climbed 18.1% to US$107.9m in the 12 months ended 3 August. UNFI put the increase down to more efficient purchasing and logistics, which partially offset a shift by consumers to lower margin conventional supermarkets.
