“The successful bond issue enables us to realize APF’s plans and increase our production capacity by approximately 60% over the coming years. We see a growing demand for eggs and egg products both in Latvia and across Europe, particularly for cage-free eggs, and we aim to swiftly implement our development plan to capitalize on this market trend. The involvement of CVI, a leading CEE investment management company, alongside two pension funds that invested during APF’s initial public offering, demonstrates the trust of financial market professionals in APF’s business model and aspirations.”
