Half Year 2020 Tate & Lyle PLC Earnings Call Transcript
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the results for the 6 months to the 30th of September 2019.

Sucralose delivered solid results, while in Primary Products, despite good performance from our manufacturing and supply chain network, profit was lower as market conditions remain challenging. Both divisions benefited from productivity gains and cost discipline.
During the half, we were also proud to establish an important new program to support sustainable agriculture for corn
