TORONTO – For the second quarter ended June 30, Maple Leaf Foods Inc.'s net earnings increased to $24.6 million from $4.9 million. But sales decreased 3 percent to $1,238.2 million compared to $1,271.4 million last year, primarily due to business divestitures. Second-quarter sales for the company's Meat Products Group decreased 7 percent to $762.2 million from $815.7 million in the second quarter last year, primarily due to selling the company's Burlington, Ontario primary pork processing operation in November 2010.
