Paul Palmby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seneca Foods stated:
“Our second quarter continued a very strong start to fiscal 2027, as FIFO pre-tax earnings increased by 47.4% to $45.7 million, compared to last year. Sales unit volumes grew by mid-single digits across most of our core business despite copack timing anomalies as well as headwinds as we work through supply chain and pricing adjustments with our newly acquired Green Giant Frozen business. We are experiencing a near-budget pack for most crops this season, positioning us well to support the 52-week needs of our customers. Additionally, we are very pleased by the level of holiday promotional activity that we are already seeing from our retail partners, which demonstrates the continued strong consumer demand for our products.”
