In September 2001, Kesko's wholesale sales were effected on 20 days, which was one less than in September 2000. The total number of trading days in January-September 2001 has been same as during the corresponding period in 2000.
As part of the chain reform, Kesko decreased, from the beginning of 2001, its wholesale prices to the K-retailers. The new pricing system is estimated to have a decreasing effect of about two percent on net sales, in comparable figures, at an annual level in the whole Group and about four percent in Kesko Food.
