In the second quarter of 2018, MHP's poultry production volume rose by 7% to 155,725 tonnes and in H1 2018 increased by 7% to 307,890 tonnes, due to increased production of heavier chicken and decreased share of thinning.
During the second quarter of 2018 the volume of chicken meat exports totaled 70,145 tonnes and remained almost stable compared to the second quarter of 2017 volume - 71,332 tonnes.
During the first half of 2018, poultry exports increased by 9% and reached 133,564 tonnes compared to H1 2017 (123,042 tonnes), mainly driven by the growth of exports in Q1 2018.
