Organic revenue growth in developed markets was 0.8%, in developing countries - 4.3%.
In the countries of North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, the turnover of Nestle fell by 6.9%, to 4 billion Swiss francs, due to the adverse effect of exchange rates and the transfer of the ice cream business in Froneri, a JV with R & R.
The company’s organic revenue in these markets grew by 1.7% due to higher sales. Nestle noted strong business performance in the production of pet food.
In North and Latin America, organic revenue of Nestle grew by 0.4% against the backdrop of a 1.4% decrease in sales, offset by higher prices. The turnover in the region amounted to 6.4 billion Swiss francs.
