"The food sector has long exceeded the pre-crisis export level, therefore every new growth percent requires much more work and effort," she said.
According to Sure, in the first six months of 2019, Latvian food producers mostly exported their products to Russia, Lithuania, Estonia and Germany. 58% of total exports went to these countries.
Traditionally, the dominating export products were non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (27% of total export value), grain and grain products (17%), and dairy products (11%).
The LPUF unites business associations and individual food companies that together represent more than 60% of the Latvian food industry market.
