Indykpol enjoying a boom in sales on the single European market

After entering the EU the demand for Polish chickens and turkeys has substantially gone up, but similar purchasing madness for Polish beef appears to be out of the question. "Quotas no longer exist and sales to the single market are no longer burdened with any duties or barriers. This is a solid ground for optimism," said Indykpol president Krystyna Szczepkowska. The Olsztyn-based company has been a major exporter for a long time and every second turkey exported from Poland came from the company. "Production costs are lower than in the West, which is our great advantage," explained Szczepkowska. Indykpol foreign sales already account for 40% of revenues against 30% a year ago. In order to further boost quality and widen its product offer, the company will invest roughly zł.30 million in 2004. (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) M.M.
