Mowi Consumer Products – the value-added processing (VAP) arm of the global salmon giant – saw operational earnings (EBIT) soar to €32.2 million ($39.3 million) in the first quarter of the year, up from €2.4 million ($2.9 million) in the same period a year ago, as consumer habits and demand continued to shift in the wake of COVID-19.
The group saw volume sales for the division climb 18 percent to 61,578 metric tons -- a record high for a first quarter -- partly driven by Easter and Lent season, with revenues up 9 percent at €685.5
