JOHANNESBURG, March 6 (Reuters) - South African food
producer RCL Foods said on Monday its half-year
earnings fell by 22.4% and it will not declare an interim
dividend due to sustained high costs.
RCL, which owns the Selati sugar, Ouma Rusks and Rainbow
Chickens brands, said its headline earnings per share (HEPS)
for the six months ending in December fell to 56.4 cents. HEPS
is the main profit measure in South Africa.
