Prepare for Russia
Leading Ukrainian confectionery manufacturer Roshen Confectionery has announced plans to build a new production facility in Cosyrevka, located in the Russian region of Lipetsk. The plant will be Roshen’s third production site in Russia, will include 40 production lines and have the capacity to manufacture 253,000 tons of confectionery products per year.
This comes after the as yet unconfirmed reports that Lotte Confectionery, a subsidiary of South Korean food conglomerate Lotte Group, has opened a plant in Obninsk, southwest of Moscow and reports last month that Nestlé has upgraded its premium chocolate manufacturing facility in the Samara region.
Have you seen increased business with Russia recently? If so, please let me know as this may be an area to focus on more keenly.
All the best,
