“I am pleased to report a strong first-half performance, with all key financial metrics significantly ahead of the same period last year, which shows the effectiveness of our chosen strategy," said Nataliya Vasylyuk, CEO. "Despite the presence of the substantial price growth of eggs and egg products, demand for our products continued to increase. Due to this, the company was able to significantly increase its exports to the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, as well as to increase sales of its products in the domestic market."

Avangardco plans to continue its plans for expansion into international markets and maintain market leadership in Ukraine in the second half of 2012.
