Horatiu Rada, co-owner of Aqua Aurum Distribution, says it’s important for local entrepreneurs to see exports as a fantastic opportunity.

Ahead of the pandemic, over 50% of the company’s turnover came from exports, but in recent years their weight has dwindled, in line with ZF’s latest data.

The company is located in Ocna de Fier, Caras-Severin county and is 100% Romanian-held.

The pandemic has hurt the business, as it has most producers mainly targeting the hospitality industry. Both exports and the local market have been affected.
