“Kraft’s first quarter results reflect solid progress against our Sustainable Growth Plan,” said Roger K.

“On the top-line, we continued to drive favourable mix, with revenue growth outpacing volume growth. While increased prices also contributed to revenue growth, we maintained price gaps within targeted ranges and grew market share across our portfolio,” he said.
