Exports to Russia increased LVL 26 million as exports of liquor increased significantly, while live hog exports to Russia grew nearly threefold. Exports of Latvian alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages increased LVL 27.6 million, whereas imports of tobacco products fell LVL 8.3 million, writes LETA.
"These results, which are of much importance to the national economy, were achieved as a result of well and strategically thought-out operations of Latvian enterprises over the past several years," said the Agricultural Market Promotion Center's head Inguna Gulbe. The situation on global markets has also contributed to this increase, as the demand and prices have been growing for dairy products and grain, she added.
