Sales were down 15% to EUR4.1bn (US$5.86bn), FrieslandCampina said as it issued its first-half results yesterday (31 August).
The company kept a lid on costs during the period, cutting payments to farmers by 32%. As a result of the drop in payments and other cost-cutting measures, operating profit fell 8% to EUR110m.
However, earnings increased 30% to EUR78m, boosted by improved finance income and a decline dividends paid out by the DMV Fonterra Excipients joint venture with New Zealand’s Fonterra.
