Lamb Weston Holdings, the US-based potato products supplier, today (6 April) reported higher sales and earnings for the first nine months of its financial year.
The growth came despite a fall in third-quarter profits, although president and CEO Tom Werner said the three months to 26 February had “played out as expected”.
