Higher prices boost Coca-Cola sales

NEW YORK CITY: Higher prices and volumes helped boost Coca-Cola sales despite consumer weakness in some markets and a hit from the Middle East war, according to company results released on Tuesday.

Revenues for the soda giant rose 7 percent from the year-ago level to $10.9 billion, reflecting a 2-percent rise in volumes and 9-percent increase in price/mix, a category that includes retail venue and product size, in addition to sticker price.
