The company manages export sales through its own sales offices in Latvia and the OAU.

Ovostar Union is the only producer in Ukraine that uses cages for poultry that meet the requirements of Directive 1999/74/EC. The Yasensvit poultry factories and the Ovostar egg product factory successfully passed the audit of the European Commission and Bureau Veritas. This allowed the company to enter the top 5 egg suppliers in Europe. The production is certified according to ISO 9001:2008: ISO 22000:2005 (HACCP) and FSSC 22000, there are also Kosher and Halal certificates.

The group’s revenue in 2018 was $125 million, and its net profit was $17.5 million.

Ovostar Union created a vertically integrated production: a closed cycle begins with the manufacture of feed of plant origin and ends with its own distribution. Freshness of products has always been an advantage of the company. From the moment an egg is received to distribution by distribution channel, no more than 24 hours pass.

The group develops production sites, $17.6 million was invested in 2018.

The agricultural holding provides over 1600 jobs. The consolidated professional team and a positive working environment are the priorities of Ovostar Union corporate culture.
