Groupe Bel reports sales of €1,790 million for the first half, up 7.7% on a like-for-like basis (+6.3% on a reported basis) compared with the same period a year earlier.

The Group points in particular to solid growth in fruit sales across all geographies, accelerating growth in China, and the positive trend in North America.

Operating income before non-recurring items came to 115 ME, up 34.6% on a like-for-like basis, and 45% on a reported basis.

Net income, Group share, came to 55 ME, compared with 34 ME a year earlier (up 61%).

' In the second half of the year, our priority will be to continue investing in our brands to support their development, while restoring margins to pre-crisis levels. Bel is well placed to face the potential impacts of the ever-changing environment, thanks to its unique business model combining responsibility and profitability', commented Cécile Béliot, the group's CEO.
