Primark owner Associated British Foods has not done a good enough job of explaining to investors the strategic logic, growth potential and value of its food businesses and must do better, its chief executive told Reuters. As well as owning the fashion chain, the FTSE 100 group is one of Britain's biggest owners of grocery brands and also runs major sugar, ingredients and agriculture businesses. While over half of the group's annual sales of 20 billion pounds ($25 billion) are generated by the food businesses, they receive disproportionately little attention from investors and the media whose focus is trained on Primark.
