A year ago Maple Leaf Foods reported a second-quarter loss of $26.2 million on sales of $1.26 billion.
Now it is reporting a profit of $84 million on sales of $1.36 million.
All major operating segments accelerated sales: prepared foods were up by 7.5 per cent, poultry by 8.5 per cent and pork by 10.7 per cent.
Pork results benefitted from the number of hogs processed, higher average hog weights, and favorable foreign exchange impacts, the company said.
