Fruit distributor Fyffes has said its profits so far this year are in line with expectations as it continues to deliver a "positive performance" in the early months of this year.
In a trading update, Fyffes said that it continues to implement necessary increases in selling prices in all markets due to what it called the significant strengthening of the dollar against the euro and sterling.
The company said it was keeping its target earnings range for the year, which forecasts EBITDA of €44-50m and adjusted earnings per share of 10-11.8 cent.
"Fyffes remains very confident about the future prospects of its business and is well placed to compete strongly in its key markets, following important strategic and operational developments in recent years," the trading statement added.
