Fyffes plc has reiterated its full-year profit growth forecasts and revealed that earnings will be weighted towards the first half of the period.

The fruit distributor is still aiming for an increase in the mid-teens for full-year adjusted earnings before interest and tax, and a low double-digit rise for adjusted earnings per share.

The full-year target assumes the group can increase its average selling prices in all its markets during the remainder of the year, the company said.
