LONDON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Associated British Foods
said on Friday trading to date in its new financial year at its
Primark fashion business had been ahead of expectations with
improved like-for-like sales compared to the fourth quarter of
its last year.
It said trading across its grocery, sugar, ingredients and
agriculture businesses had been in line with expectations.
The group said it continued to expect "significant progress"
at both the half and full year, in adjusted operating profit and
adjusted earnings per share.
