Barry Callebaut sales volumes rise slightly during Q1
-Sales from the world's biggest chocolate-maker Barry Callebaut rose slightly in the three months to the end of November, as the company managed to pass on some of the impact of a surge in cocoa prices. The company, which supplies chocolate for the Magnum ice creams made by Unilever and for Nestle's KitKat bars, said sales volumes increased by 0.4% to 580,876 tonnes versus the 578,300 tonnes estimated in the company-provided median consensus. Barry Callebaut's shares rose 2% in the Julius Baer pre-market trade.
