Danone closed a good year

French Danone, which is the world leader in the sale of dairy products, increased its profit to 1.41 billion euros last year.

The price decrease of the raw materials, as well as the increase of volumes due to price reductions, contributed to the profit increase. In 2008, the company's profit was  1.31 billion USD, this was increased by 100 million in 2009. Analysts expected a slightly better, 1.42 billion USD profit –  reports Népszabadság Online.
