**【CEO Commentary】**
- Fresh Fruit faced higher sourcing costs (bananas, pineapples) but maintained demand. Diversified EMEA saw 6% like-for-like revenue growth in Spain, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands. Diversified Americas performed well in kiwis and berries. The buyback program reflects confidence in long-term value.
