Several of these activities have influences our sales adversely. Therefore we plan to place part of production in these countries of acquire a daughter company there, which would allow at least partially mitigating the effects,” says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of the Board of JSC Olainfarm.

During the 1st quarter of 2016 sales to all company’s main markets continued increasing except for Russia, where they shrunk by 38%, compared to 1st quarter of 2015.
