“This is evidence that our organization is designed for success, it is in our DNA and that, when we work together, we can flourish and even succeed in the most demanding conditions.”
In 2023, we’ll keep working to make sure that the people and families who rely on us to feed their family every day have access to affordable nutrition. With the general elections and the ensuing tense political climate, as well as the disruptions in economic activity, we are aware that this year will be difficult.
We are also faced with the increasing cost of doing business – especially the high cost of inputs, and therefore, remain flexible and resilient in our operations”. “As we unlock the power of food to increase quality of life for everyone today and for centuries to come, our priority will be the wellbeing of our people, our consumers, our communities, and our generations,” he said.
