Grupo Calvo closed 2019 with revenues of € 593 M, compared to 582.7 the previous year. This represents a growth of 1.7%, which leaves behind the decline experienced in 2018. Regarding results, its evolution was even better, achieving a result before tax of € 45.3 M, that is, 15% over the 39.4 M from the previous year. However, in terms of volume, the A Coruña cannery suffered a drop of 2.4%, reaching 101,000 t, compared to the previous 103,467 t.
As already happened in the past academic year, behind these figures is the decrease in consumption in Brazil, both due to the economic recession and the shortage of local product, which has increased the demand for imported products, more expensive than the local one , to which a new depreciation of the Brazilian Real has been added, since, individually, this market contributes almost half of the group's income (48% in 2019), although its representativeness has fallen two points in two years.
