ABF Forecasts Sugar Losses

Associated British Foods warns that rising costs and falling prices are impacting its sugar division.

Associated British Foods has issued a warning regarding deeper losses within its sugar business. According to Food Business Africa, the company is facing significant pressure from weak sugar prices across Europe.

The outlook is further complicated by increased gas costs and a decline in beet yields within the UK. These combined factors are weighing heavily on the performance of the sugar sector.

Despite these challenges, other areas of the company remain positive. Both the Ingredients and Grocery divisions continue to show growth.
