Total Produce has set its sights on a "solid earnings performance" in 2009 as the supplier looks to ride out the recession.

Having taken account of the economic climate and negative currency translation movements, the producer, importer, and retail and foodservice supplier was targeting a very solid earnings performance for 2009 with adjusted earnings in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 cent per share in March.

Having completed the first four months of its financial year, Total Produce is pleased to announce that its 2009 earnings targets remain unchanged, it said in a brief trading statement following its annual general meeting.
