We are prepared to collaborate with all food companies in Russia and beyond. Now we are expanding our geography and starting to establish ties with the CIS and Customs Union countries.
Corr.: Who is your key customer?
Yu. Sh.: For us, every customer is important, so there is no point in singling out anyone in particular. Our customers include not only large companies, but also medium-sized and small factories.
