Primark owner Associated British Foods says there is a risk of supply shortages on some lines later in the financial year if delays in factory production in China are prolonged due to coronavirus.

AB Foods sources a range of product from China and says it is well stocked in the short-term.

“We are assessing mitigating strategies, including a step-up in production from existing suppliers in other regions,” it said.

The group also owns major sugar, grocery, ingredients and agriculture arms. Several of its food businesses have operations in China.
