“It’s been a difficult year, we won’t reach the projected growth, the revenue is in decline. Demand for exports decreased in the first half, we sold 35% of our production abroad compared  with 45% last year. We added new customers on the domestic market, we saw higher demand from supermarket, sugar and feed producing customers,” Adrian Dimofte, strategy and development director of Barleta, told ZF, adding exports started recovering in the second half.

Barleta’s customers include Carrefour, KFC and Pambac.
