According to the company's DIRECTOR, Petr Gutov, the final results are in line with expectations—the planned slaughter volume was 600–700 animals. Finished products are already being delivered to social institutions and will soon be available in stores. The main deliveries are to hospitals, schools, and other essential facilities, and the reindeer MEAT is sold at reduced prices under the governor's program. This year, the price per kilogram of meat is 395 rubles, including subsidies, compared to 500 rubles directly from the producers.

Currently, the Chaunskoye agricultural enterprise is the largest reindeer herding enterprise in Chukotka, maintaining a herd of over 26,000 animals. According to regional authorities, there are approximately 119,000 domesticated reindeer in the region, and last year, 5,184 animals, weighing a total of 430 tons, were slaughtered.
