Sales of Supremo products increased by 25 per cent in 2019 compared to 2018. We plan to improve this result.
Last year we have managed to increase the number of Supremo products at several networks of supermarkets. Also last year, new products were added to the assortment of Supremo such as chopped tomato, green and red adjika (a hot, spicy, but subtly flavored dip), sugar, rice and iodized salt.
This year we already added spices to the market. In this segment, the competition is very high but we do our best to be among the leaders of the market.
