including the effect of our foreign currency hedges , net sales for 2013 were negatively impacted by $ 60.1 million , as compared to 2012 , principally as a result of a weaker japanese yen and euro versus the u.s. dollar . during 2013 , our net sales were positively affected by higher sales volumes of bananas and non-tropical fruit principally sourced from independent growers in costa rica , ecuador , colombia and mexico and by higher sales volume of fresh-cut products in north america and the middle east that resulted from an expanded customer base and improved demand for our products . also positively affecting our net sales were our expansion into new markets in the middle east . our net sales growth in recent years has been achieved primarily through increased sales volume in existing markets of other fresh produce , primarily pineapples , fresh-cut products and non-tropical fruit and favorable pricing on our del monte gold ® extra sweet pineapple combined with increased sales volume and per unit sales prices of bananas in existing and new markets . our net sales growth in recent years has also been attributable to a broadening of our product line with the expansion of our fresh-cut produce business , specifically increased sales to the foodservice sector and convenience stores combined with our expansion into new markets . we expect our net sales growth to continue to be driven by increased sales volumes across all of our segments . in the middle east , we expect to continue 27 to increase our net sales of our fresh produce and prepared food product offerings as a result of our expansion in various markets in the region such as turkey , saudi arabia and other regional markets . we also expect to increase our sales by developing new products in the prepared food segment , targeting the convenience store and foodservice trade in selected european and middle east markets and to continue to expand our sales of beverage products in the middle east , european and sub-sahara african markets . cost of products sold cost of products sold is principally composed of two elements , product and logistics costs . product cost for our produce is primarily composed of cultivation ( the cost of growing crops ) , harvesting , packaging , labor , depreciation and farm administration . product cost for produce obtained from independent growers is composed of procurement and packaging costs . logistics costs include land and sea transportation and expenses related to port facilities and distribution centers . sea transportation cost is the most significant component of logistics costs and is comprised of the cost of vessel operating expenses and chartering refrigerated vessels . vessel operating expenses for our owned vessels include operations , maintenance , depreciation , insurance , fuel ( the cost of which is subject to commodity price fluctuations ) , and port charges . for chartered vessels , operating expenses include the cost of chartering the vessels , fuel and port charges . variations in containerboard prices , which affect the cost of boxes and other packaging materials , and fuel prices can have a significant impact on our product cost and our profit margins . also , variations in the production yields , fertilizers and other input costs and the cost to procure products from independent growers can have a significant impact on our costs . containerboard , plastic , resin and fuel prices have historically been volatile . during 2012 , cost of fuel increased by 8 % , mostly offset by an 8 % decrease in containerboard prices , with negligible effect on our cost of products sold . also included in 2012 , were $ 0.7 million in inventory write-offs related to our previously discontinued pineapple and melon operations in brazil and $ 0.4 million in inventory write-offs and clean-up costs and a credit of $ ( 0.2 ) million for insurance reimbursements related to floods in costa rica . during 2013 , cost of fuel decreased 7 % , containerboard increased 4 % and fertilizer decreased 13 % resulting in a reduction of cost of product sold of approximately $ 10.8 million . also included in 2013 , were $ 1.4 million in inventory write-off due to adverse weather conditions in chile and $ 0.1 million inventory write-off related to the shut-down of a watermelon farm in costa rica . in general , changes in our volume of products sold can have a disproportionate effect on our gross profit . within any particular year , a significant portion of our cost of products sold is fixed , both with respect to our operations and with respect to the cost of produce purchased from independent growers from whom we have agreed to purchase all the products they produce . accordingly , higher volumes produced on company-owned farms directly reduce the average per-box cost , while lower volumes directly increase the average per-box cost . in addition , because the volume that will actually be produced on our farms and by independent growers in any given year depends on a variety of factors , including weather , that are beyond our control or the control of our independent growers , it is difficult to predict volumes and per-box costs . since our financial reporting currency is the u.s. dollar , our costs are affected by fluctuations in the value of the currency in which we have significant operations versus the dollar , with lower costs resulting from a strong u.s. dollar . during 2013 , cost of products sold was positively impacted by approximately $ 16.1 million as compared with 2012 due to a stronger u.s. dollar versus the various currencies in which we have significant operations . story_separator_special_tag fruit operations in the united kingdom related to the other fresh produce segment ; $ 0.2 million in contract termination costs in the united kingdom principally related to the banana segment ; $ 0.1 million in asset impairment in chile due to adverse weather conditions related to the other fresh produce segment ; $ 0.8 million in severance expense due to restructuring in our cameroon banana operations ; $ 0.2 million in severance expense due to restructuring of our sales office in france related to the prepared food segment ; $ ( 2.5 ) million in credits due to the gain on sale of a previously impaired under-utilized facility in the united kingdom principally related to the banana segment ; a net credit of $ ( 0.2 ) million related to over-accrued exit activity in hawaii related to the other fresh produce segment . asset impairment and other charges ( credits ) for 2012 were as follows : $ 2.8 million in asset impairments and contract termination charges related to under-utilized distribution centers and office space in the united kingdom primarily related to the banana segment ; $ 2.6 million in asset impairments and severance charges related to the closure of a fresh-cut prepared salad facility in the united kingdom in other fresh produce segment ; $ ( 1.7 ) million net gain on the sale of previously impaired melon assets in guatemala related to the other fresh produce segment ; $ ( 1.4 ) million in insurance proceeds related to floods which occurred in 2010 in our guatemala operations related to the banana segment ; 33 $ 0.7 million in net charges as a result of floods in our costa rica operations , comprised of $ 1.3 million in asset impairments less $ ( 0.6 ) million of insurance proceeds related to the banana segment ; $ 0.5 million in other costs related to our previous closure of hawaii operations related to the other fresh produce segment ; and $ ( 0.2 ) million credit for the reversal of over-accrued costs in our previous closure of costa rica melon operation related to the other fresh produce segment . operating ( loss ) income operating loss in 2013 was $ ( 28.1 ) million compared with an operating income of $ 161.4 million in 2012 , a decrease of $ 189.5 million . the decrease in operating income is attributable to lower gross profit , higher selling general and administrative expenses , a loss on disposal of property , plant and equipment and higher asset impairments and other charges , net . interest expense interest expense was $ 2.9 million in 2013 as compared with $ 3.0 million in 2012 , a decrease of $ 0.1 million . the lower interest expense in 2013 was due principally to lower interest rates , partially offset by higher average debt balances . other ( income ) expense , net other ( income ) expense , net was income of $ 13.6 million in 2013 compared with an expense of $ 1.9 million in 2012. during 2013 , we recorded a gain of $ 16.6 million related to a favorable judgment awarded in litigation and lower foreign exchange losses , partially offset by $ 1.6 million in financial charges as a result of an unfavorable court ruling related to value added tax reporting in south america . included in other ( income ) expense , net during 2012 was $ 2.6 million of foreign exchange losses , which resulted from converting argentine pesos to u.s. dollars . provision for income taxes provision for income taxes was $ 17.2 million in 2013 compared with $ 12.2 million in 2012 , an increase of $ 5.0 million . the increase in the provision for income taxes for 2013 is primarily due to $ 9.7 million in tax credits recorded in 2012 as compared with $ 0.3 million in net tax credits recorded during 2013. the 2012 tax credits were primarily for the reversals of uncertain tax positions due to a lapse in the statute of limitations and settlement of tax audits and litigation and changes in tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions . partially offsetting the higher levels of tax credits during 2012 was lower taxable income in certain jurisdictions in 2013 . 2012 compared with 2011 net sales net sales in 2012 were $ 3,421.2 million compared with $ 3,589.7 million in 2011 . the increase in net sales of $ 168.5 million was primarily attributable to higher net sales of bananas and other fresh produce , partially offset by lower net sales of prepared foods . net sales in the banana segment decreased by $ 108.5 million principally due to lower sales in europe , the middle east and asia , partially offset by higher sales in north america . ◦ europe banana net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes in germany and the united kingdom as a result of our decision not to enter into unprofitable banana sales contracts with certain large retailers , partially offset by net sales increases in southern europe and higher per unit sales prices . ◦ middle east banana net sales decreased principally due to lower sales volumes , a result of reduced shipments from central america into secondary middle east markets combined with lower purchases from independent growers in the philippines , partially offset by higher per unit sales prices . ◦ asia banana net sales decreased principally due to lower sales volumes as a result of reduced purchases from independent growers combined with lower per unit sales prices due to higher industry volumes in the japan and korea markets principally as a result of restricted shipments to china . 34 ◦ north america banana net sales increased primarily due to a 5 % increase in sales volumes that resulted from increased shipments from costa rica , partially offset by lower per unit sales
