Meatinfo.lv | Мясная индустрия стран Балтии

CEO of Rigas miesnieks Aldis Skutans said that introduction of new products into the market as well as successful and rather aggressive sales and marketing strategy largely contributed to turnover increase in the first ten months of the year.

In its turn export volumes of the company have slightly decreased this year. In Jan-Oct Rigas miesnieks exported 6 pct of the total production.

“Export was down because of lack of capacity, as we are not able to fully meet the demands of domestic market,” acknowledged Skutans.

Next year the company plans to boost production volumes 30 pct. “However it will occur only if several investment projects for boosting production capacity are carried out,” Skutans explains.

Last year meat the company earned a profit of LVL 1.02 mln at the turnover of LVL 16.866, up by 14 pct compared to 2005.
