04 Jan 2019 --- Agricultural commodities supplier Cargill has reported weakening Q2 results in some divisions, including food ingredients. Adjusted operating earnings were US$853 million for the fiscal 2019 second quarter and first half ended November 30, 2018, down 10 percent from the US$948 million earned in last year’s strong comparative period. This brought first-half earnings to US$1.74 billion, a 5 percent decrease from the prior year. The company reports a reliable performance in an uncertain environment, navigating volatile agricultural markets that have been disrupted by trade conflicts such as the US-China disputes.
