Russia meat producer Cherkizovo has booked an increase in full-year sales volumes in two of its divisions.
In the 12 months to the end of December, sales volumes in its poultry unit climbed 23% to around 319,210 tonnes of slaughter weight. The increase reflects organic volumes added in the Penza and Bryansk clusters and sales by Mosselprom, which was acquired in May 2011.

Sales volumes in the firm’s pork division were up 14% to around 103,877 tonnes of live weight.
Cherkizovo’s meat processing division, however, recorded a volume decline of 12% to around 127,403 tonnes due to the closure of an “inefficient” slaughtering facility in southern Russia.
