There are many new products. Among them are fruit yogurts and cheese with mushrooms and chestnut. In order to develop production, it is necessary to export the lion’s share of food products. Under the current model, we export 70% of our dairy and 40% of our meat products,” the deputy minister of agriculture and food stressed.

Furthermore, output of whole-milk products and cheese outpaced this trend, rising by 10% and 8% respectively, with meat processing volumes also seeing an increase. We are also moving towards deep processing to create more value-added products. A key focus is on sausages, with output up 6% year-on-year for the nine-month period. This step-by-step approach is delivering systematic growth across all sectors. We are proud that today our food products are sold in 115 countries worldwide. We are not resting on our laurels.
