“This move by Agrana is necessary in order to counter the overcapacity which has arisen in the European fruit preparations market in recent years as a result of which there has been pressure on the margins of all fruit preparations producers,” the firm said.
The relocation is expected to be complete by the end of the financial year 2014/15.
