Fyffes profit doubles on higher prices
Fyffes, the Irish banana distributor that split in two last year, said first-half profit more than doubled after higher selling prices recouped increased costs to buy and ship fruit.
Chairman Semi Koroilavesau said for the period 1st January to 30th June 2008, FPCL achieved an increase in profit, after tax, of approximately 1.6 million dollars over the corresponding period of 2007.
