Danish Crown’s exports to Russia are growing after the slaughterhouses in Ringsted and Herning were approved for export as of 1 January 2009. The approval has significantly increased Danish Crown’s export potential.
Danish Crown is back in business with the Russians.
We can sense that Russian customers are waking up after the public holidays and church festivals, and a new ship is therefore on its way which will be unloaded in week 7, says Export Manager Jens Rahbek, who is responsible for the Russian market.
Individual cuts are a favourite with Russians including necks, spare-ribs, shoulders, hams and whole fore-ends.
We have made the most of the opportunities which have opened up as the Russians have distributed their quotas and licences. And we have been able to strike some good deals, says Jens Rahbek.
