Kosarom has a total swine farming capacity of 142,000 head per year, in three farms in Razboieni, Targu Frumos (Iasi) and Roman (Neamt).
“Medium-term plans include development of new farms and in the next five years we seek to triple capacity to 500,000 head of swine per year, which requires more than EUR80 million investments made in stages,” says Ioan Antoci, general manager of Suinprod Roman, a company of the group.
Kosarom management expects revenue to reach EUR39 million in 2018, an increase of 10% on 2017.
Kosarom produced 15,000 tons of pork last year, which it sold as various products mainly through its own retail chain in the NE Romania, as well as abroad, with exports generating 5% of its revenue.
Kosarom group includes Industrializarea Carnii Kosarom (meat processor), Suinprod (swine farming) and Avi-Top (poultry farming).
