Despite supply chain challenges and cost inflations, General Mills reported growth in sales of 30% to $568 million in its pet food category so far in 2022 by leveraging the cost savings. According to the CG giant, the net sales rose up to 28% to $1.65 billion, while the organic sales increased up to 16%. This tremendous growth is the result of favourable net price mix and realisation along with strong volume growth. The company holds that the pet business accounts for 19.5% of the company’s net sales, representing the second-largest business sector of General Mills.
