Updating the market on its performance in the six months to 30 June, the company said that changes to the EU sugar regime and a cut in sugar production quotas had helped to move the EU sugar market into balance.
Real Good Food also said that the merger of sugar and bakery ingredients businesses to form Renshawnapier had gone “according to plan”.
Although margins at Renshawnapier were below last year, some improvement was seen in the second quarter and the restructuring move is beginning to generate overhead savings, the company said.
Revenues at the group’s bakery division, Hayden’s, rose 12% year-on-year, benefitting from promotional volumes and new food service customers. Price increases were also pushed through in the second quarter and are expected to have a positive effect on margins, Real Good Food said.
