Russian meat processor Cherkizovo Group has recorded volume increases in both its poultry and pork divisions in the first quarter.
Sales volumes in the firm’s poultry division climbed 42% to around 75,860 tonnes in the three-month period. The increase reflected the contribution from Cherkizovo’s newly-launched sites at Bryansk and sales from Mosselprom, which it acquired in May last year.
