ConAgra Foods Inc's payables turnover ratio has fluctuated over the observed periods. The payables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is managing its accounts payable by comparing the amount of purchases made on credit to the average accounts payable during the period.

The data shows that ConAgra Foods Inc had a payables turnover ratio ranging from a low of 5.49 to a high of 8.20. Generally, a higher payables turnover ratio indicates that the company is paying its suppliers more frequently, which can be a sign of good liquidity management. On the other hand, a lower ratio may suggest that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, potentially straining supplier relationships or indicating cash flow issues.

ConAgra Foods Inc's payables turnover has shown some variability, which could be due to changes in the company's payment terms with suppliers, fluctuations in purchasing volume, or adjustments in working capital management strategies. Further analysis would be needed to understand the specific factors influencing these changes and assess the overall efficiency of the company's accounts payable management.
