The company said it delivered impressive results in its poultry division where sales increased by 22%, supplying half of group revenue and more than half of profits. Group sales were up 7% to $1.58bn.
CEO Sergey Mikhailov said management is “optimistic” about the group’s business prospects, despite a “challenging” 2013 outlook for grain and pork prices, which he said is expected to negatively impact its 2013 performance.
