BUZZ-Greencore: another supplier sidesteps UK supermarkets' woes

** Greencore reports rise in FY EPS & very positive on outlook

** Comes in face of challenging grocery backdrop where supermarkets are squeezing food producers in bid to lower prices at check-outs & bolster profits

** Greencore's results, which come on the heels of similarly strong numbers from peer Cranswick Monday, point towards a favourable backdrop for suppliers despite concerns

** Greencore, up 2.2 pct, outperforms peers, with Dairy Crest (BSE: CREST.BO - news) off 0.3 pct & Devro 0.4 pct weaker after sliding +1 pct early. (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : tricia.wright1.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
