Karan Chanana, Amira’s chairman and CEO, said: “Our strong first quarter performance reflects increased demand and a favourable pricing environment for our products – with gains in our core Indian and Middle East markets, as well as in developed markets, such as the US, the UK and Continental Europe where we continue to make inroads in these priority markets. We believe that fiscal 2015 will be a great year and we expect to meet our growth forecasts as we expand markets and distribution points around the world.”
