In her yearly report, financial director Liz Waugh cited new sales lines, the availability of ample raw produce and the ability to exploit new and existing markets as key contributing factors to the company’s success.
“However, this last financial year proved to be a favourable one for Kettle Produce. We were able to benefit from ample good quality raw materials. In turn, this has allowed for efficient production practices which has further benefited trading.” Looking forward and considering the financial year to date, Waugh noted that “trading in the new year is currently ahead of budget and the board is confident that our year-end targets will be achieved”.
Kettle produces some 100,000 tonnes of fresh root vegetables, green vegetables and salad crops each year from its sites at Orkie near Freuchie, and Balmalcolm near Cupar.
