ZURICH – Swiss food giant Nestle today said coffee sales helped boost its first-quarter turnover by 1.3% in the first quarter of the year.
The overall sales figure rose to 21.1 billion Swiss francs (RM94.7 billion), an earnings statement said.
The group’s measure of so-called organic growth, which strips out effects from acquisitions, divestments and foreign exchange movements, jumped by 7.7% in the first three months of the year, as the group was able to increase its share of several markets, the statement added. – AFP, April 22, 2021
