Gruma Second Quarter Profit Falls 12% on US Weakness
Gruma's second-quarter net income fell 12% year-on-year due to weaker US demand and higher costs at Mission Foods, despite a 5% increase in net sales to US$1.62 billion driven by international strength. The company is the world's largest tortilla and corn-flour maker.
