Gains were propelled by a 159% jump in sales from Rusagro’s meat business. The group had previously indicated it plans to step up production of meat products such as pork to meet demand in Russia and offset lower supplies, which are the consequence of import restrictions.

Revenues at Russgro’s oils and fats business rose 101% and sales of sugar jumped 41%, the company added.
