The owner of brands including Grandiosa pizza and Felix mayonnaise said it was aiming for “long-term organic growth” that was “at least in-line with market growth”.

Meanwhile, by 2021, Orkla said it was targeting growth in underlying EBIT margins of at least 1.5 percentage points, “adjusted for M&A and foreign exchange”.
Orkla, which has made a series of acquisitions in 2018, said “strategically attractive” purchases would continue to be “a key part” of its strategy to grow.
It added: “At the same time, the group will focus more strongly on reducing complexity through more active portfolio management.”
