BC, Riga, 22.08.2017.Print version
Latvian fish cannery, joint-stock Brivais Vilnis, has begun exporting regular shipments to the United States in 2017 in accordance with the company's plans, however, sales volumes in the U.S. have not reached expectations, the company's board chairman Arnolds Babris informs LETA.

''We are making regular shipments, however, sales volumes have yet to reach satisfactory levels,'' he said, adding that the company is shipping between two to three containers to the U.S. per month.


He said that the products have been distributed within the ethnic Russian product market, which is scattered throughout the country. At the same time, the company is also circulating its products through national retail networks as well.


Babris added that it is difficult to begin distributing its products to U.S. supermarket chains, adding that it lacks advertising which would help increase sales.


He also said that the company is not feeling much protectionism from the U.S., adding that Brivais Vilnis products are more of a niche product.
