Sales of dairy products declined for Danone in first half
Volume growth in the Asia-Pacific/Latin America/Middle-East/Africa regions increased 3.8% in the first half compared to last year; volume declined in the rest of the world.
Group Danone, Paris, said its first-half sales increased 4.6%, led by increases in the company’s water, early life nutrition and medical nutrition business lines. Sales of fresh dairy products declined. The performance is “in line” with the company’s plan and it is “laying a solid foundation for a model for profitable, sustainable growth,” according to a press release issued today.
