The second place belongs to Danosha LLC, which has opened for itself this sales direction last fall, and this year it provided almost 1/5 of the exported pigs.
The third step taken by Agroindustrial Company LLC (14%, respectively).
And closes the quartet of the most active exporters of pigs-mature-for-slaughter AgroPrime Holding, LLC, which sold to Georgia three times more than a year earlier for seven months in 2017.
