Pioneer Foods increased turnover by 7.8% in the four months to 31 January 2019, excluding the contribution of the acquired Wellington's and Lizi's businesses. The growth is primarily driven by price inflation in bread, wheat flour, rice and export fruit as well as sound volume growth in local beverages, bread, rice and breakfast cereals in the UK. Overall like-for-like volume growth is 2.0%, excluding the contribution of the acquired businesses, implying basket inflation of 5.8%.
