08 Oct 2015 --- In the first half of the 2015|16 financial year, AGRANA, the sugar, starch and fruit products manufacturer, posted revenue of € 1,263.5 million (H1 prior year: € 1,285.2 million). The Group's revenue thus eased mildly by 1.7% from one year earlier. Operating profit (EBIT), at € 68.7 million (H1 prior year: € 87.0 million), was down significantly as expected, with a decline of 21.0% from the first six months of 2014|15 as a result of the sustained negative price situation for sugar.
