Balticovo to invest EUR 1 mln in barn egg production

BC, Riga, 09.11.2017.Print version
Latvian egg producer Balticovo plans to invest EUR 1 million in open-house battery cages for hens to be used in barn egg production, writes LETA, according to the information published on the website of the Procurement Supervision Bureau.

Balticovo spokeswoman Agra Liege told LETA that about a year the company had announced its long-term plan for investments in both free-range and barn egg production.

 

"The main purpose of increasing the production capacity that way is to improve the company's export potential. Announcing a tender for supply of the equipment is only one of the steps towards this goal," she said.

 

Balticovo will implement the investment project with the help of financing from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).

 

Balticovo produces not only eggs but also different egg products.

 

In 2016, Balticovo generated EUR 44.589 million in turnover, down 2.9% from 2015, and its profit shrank two times to EUR 2.713 million.

 

The largest shareholder in Balticovo is BCO company with 95.42%.
