Food & Drink Business

Australia’s certified organic sector has for the first time passed the $1bn mark in annual direct sales, highlighting growing demand from consumers and the growing contribution and opportunity for organics.

In a year that delivered Lark Distilling Co’s strongest top-line growth, it also wrote off $36.2 million in assets from its 2021 Pontville acquisition, pushing its statutory EBITDA loss to $19 million.

Asahi Beverages has appointed Brian Phan to the expanded role of chief commercial officer, which combines both of the company's commercial and growth functions.
