Russian meat producer Cherkizovo Group has dispatched its first shipment of poultry meat to Angola.
The first batch of 54 tons was dispatched from Novorossiysk to Luanda from Cherkizovo’s Chicken Kingdom poultry farm in the Lipetsk region, which received its licence to export poultry products earlier this year.
The Company employs state-of-the-art technology to meet Angolan market standards by producing smaller broilers of 1.1-1.3 kg and shipping them in frozen form.
Cherkizovo Group’s export department head Andrei Terekhin commented: “Cherkizovo Group was one of the first Russian companies in its segment to enter export markets. Export remains a strategic sales channel for the company as it creates additional growth opportunities.
“The Near East, Middle East and Africa remain our priority markets and we plan to expand our presence in these markets and beyond.”
Cherkizovo Group is one of the leaders in the domestic market by both the quality and biological safety of its products. The Company is already exporting its poultry products to countries in the north and east of Africa, as well as to the Middle East.
