The Land O’Lakes “layers” division, run by Moark, made a loss of US$25m in 2013, lower than the $39m loss it ran up in 2012.

Land O’Lakes said the unit faced “supply issues” and “high feed prices relative to egg prices” last year but insisted a focus on cost savings and efficiency had brought down losses. Sales reached $259m, 18% of the co-op’s $14.2bn revenues last year, which was a record for the company.
