French poultry processor Duc fell into the red again in 2014, although losses narrowed despite a fall in sales.

Duc reported a near-8% fall in turnover amid the planned end products developed in tandem with agri-food company Glon Sanders. The company also pointed to a "sluggish market".

Nevertheless, Duc said margins had been "consolidated" and profitability improved compared to 2013.
