The Finland-based company said last month its annual EBIT is expected to fall “clearly short” of last year’s EUR37m.

“The EBIT forecast was adjusted due to the difficult conditions in the Finnish and Russian meat markets. A glut of pork and tougher competition have decreased sales prices both in Finland and elsewhere in the EU,” Atria added today.

Full-year net sales are, however, expected to be up on last year’s level.
