Improved earnings from the distribution centres through increased throughput and strong
cost management

Significant year on year growth, driven largely by the success of Costa's blueberry varieties
worldwide
With growth in Morocco production these varieties are now available in volume in the UK
and European markets. Retailers routinely rate the varieties as most preferred and African
Blue commands a price premium
Similarly, in the America's, as Driscoll's rolls out its blueberry expansion program it is using
Costa varieties as the largest individual platform
The latest variety being planted in volume is the late season blueberry variety Arana
which combines large fruit with attractive flavour and a crunchy texture
Arana will be available in Australia in substantial volumes from next year's season
