Fyffes report positive year to date

Despite the significant industry wide cost inflation experienced during the past number of years continuing and accelerating during 2008, Fyfees trading performance for the first four months of the year has been well ahead of the same period in 2007.

However, the group has reported that it needs to achieve higher year on year prices across all of its operations during the remainder of the year to offset the impact of the continuing increases in the costs of fruit and fuel.
