Nordic poultry group Scandi Standard has reported higher underlying profits for the second quarter of 2015, although the result was not enough to prevent lower half-year earnings.

Sales in Sweden benefited from good market demand and "strong performance" of new products. In Denmark sales were positively impacted by higher export volumes at firmer prices. But the Norwegian retail market for chicken products continued to be weak and declined by 4% year on year.
