Kerry Group has posted global revenues of over €4bn at the half-way stage, helped by price increases at its Taste & Nutrition division, as the food giant juggled higher input costs and passing on increased prices to its customers.

Group revenues increased to €4.1bn in the first six months of the year, up from €4bn a year earlier, but earnings were little changed at €518m as the group struggled to pass on increases in its costs.
