A spokesperson told just-food Fyffes was looking to “build all of their businesses” through organic growth and M&A.
The spokesperson said Fyffes wanted to “continue to be number one in bananas” and believed there was “potential” to boost the profitability of its pineapples business, which is “low” at present.
Fyffes maintained its targets for earnings in 2013 including EBITDA of EUR36-42m (US$47.2-55.1m) and adjusted earnings per share of 7.5-9.2 cent.
