The company’s biggest export markets include the United Kingdom, France, Croatia, Bulgaria and Italy, according to the latest information it provided. Ioan Popa, the owner of the group, had previously told ZF that the company exported EUR2 million worth of products to the UK every month. Transavia ships both chicken and processed products abroad.

Transavia, the biggest company of the group by the same name, last year ranked 34th among the largest Romanian-held exporters. The top 40 Romanian-held exporters include only two meat processors, with four food industry businesses in all.

On the other hand, Transavia is the sixth largest meat exporter in Romania, according to the National Statistics Institute data.
