81% of Hajdu-Bet’s exports are to EU countries, mainly Germany, France and Great Britain. Another main destination for exports is Japan.
With five factories and 3,400 employees, Hajdu-Bet controls around 20% of the Hungarian poultry market, 40% of the Hungarian semi-finished and finished poultry products, and around 18% of the country’s poultry export market.
The company expects its pre-tax profit to increase to HFt331m this year from HFt176m last year. It is also expected that exports will account for HFt20.045bn of Hajdu-Bet’s HFt44.158bn consolidated net revenue.
Hajdu-Bet mainly focuses on frozen, fresh and sliced poultry products, but it aims to meet demand in the EU by expanding its production of ready-made products such as breaded chicken, reported EcoNews.
