NATIONAL Foods (NatFoods) says it is adequately stocked to meet heightened demand usually associated with festive season.
This comes amid widespread doubts over business’ preparedness for the season given the headwinds faced during the year.
“We don’t expect shortages over the festive season,” NatFoods chief executive, Michael Lashbrook, told The Financial Gazette last week.
“We have plenty of stocks as well as planned forward positions on raw materials and we have adequate stocks to meet demand, so there are no issues at all there.”
This also comes as the company has invested US$26 million over the past two financial years, which has seen it move up the value chain to produce a broader range of products.
