27 May 2014 --- Naturex, the global leader in specialty plant-based natural ingredients, has announced its consolidated results for the 2014 first quarter. As announced in April of this year, 2014 first-quarter sales came to €79.6 million, with a -2.1% change at constant exchange rates, mainly in response to an unfavourable comparison base, amplified by exceptional performances in the 2013 first quarter for Svetol and krill extraction sales for AKER BioMarine.
