The Jaunpils Pienotava dairy company has sent the first shipments of its products to Singapore and Hong Kong, the company's board chairman Viesturs Krilovs told LETA.
''We sent our first shipments to such markets as Singapore
and Hong Kong this year. We are not exporting substantial amount, but gradually
and slowly increasing export volumes,'' he said, adding that the company is
mainly exporting its luxury brand products.
Krilovs admitted that Russia used to be its main export
market, but due to the Russian food embargo in 2014 the company is mainly
concentrating on the Latvian market at the moment and exports at the moment
reach 25% of revenue.
As reported, in 2017 Jaunpils Pienotava posted EUR 11.54 mln
in turnover and EUR 753,660 in profit
