Damate increased EXPORT volumes by 21% in the first six months of 2024. Approximately 12,000 tons of turkey, duck, and lamb products were shipped abroad.

The Damate Group of Companies summarizes its export results for the first half of 2024. Over the first six months, the company exported approximately 12,000 tons of turkey, duck, and lamb products, a 21% increase compared to the same period last year. The increase in volumes is the result of increased shipments to partner countries, the development of new sales channels, and an expanded product range. Turkey products

drove the growth in international exports , with approximately 10,000 tons of natural semi-finished products, deeply processed goods, and ready-to-eat products shipped to countries in Africa, the Persian Gulf, Asia, and the near abroad. More than half of the total turkey export volume went to CHINA , one of Damate's key markets. Over the past six months, the company has significantly increased its shipments to China, becoming the leading turkey supplier to that country. This was due to the launch of shipments from the Rostov Region and growing demand for the company's products. Shipments to the markets of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have also increased. Damate continues to steadily increase exports and strengthen its export position year after year. "We are not only opening up new markets but also expanding our customer base in countries with which we have long-standing partnerships by developing new distribution channels and offering unique product lines," noted Daria Lashchenko, Deputy General DIRECTOR of Marketing and Sales at Damate. Duck shipments abroad have increased significantly. The main driver of this growth is the launch of exports to the People's Republic of China. The Middle East, CIS, and neighboring countries remain attractive markets. The product range includes offal and natural semi-finished products.
