Sales were impacted by a fall in sales in both its domestic and international markets.

However for the second quarter of the year the firm reported an increase of 1.8% in sales to EUR180.7m with sales up in all segments: charcuterie, prepared meals and surimi increasing.

The firm said it expects revenue to fall below the 4% growth figure previously announced due to “harsher than expected” economic conditions.
