The joint-stock fish cannery "Kaija" is carrying out research for construction of a plant which could be built on the Kurzeme coast in western Latvia, LETA was told by Eriks Matulis from the company's public relations department.
The draft concept for the plant has been worked out, including a specified business plan, seeking the most convenient location and formulating conditions for potential business partners. About LVL 4 million are necessary to launch the plant.
The new plant's line would be canned sprats and anchovies canned. Anchovies are a new product while sprats have taken insignificant portion in the production portfolio of the cannery.
The capacity of the new cannery is planned at 3,000,000 sprat cans and 400,000 anchovy cans monthly. The production outlets are planned both on the western and eastern markets.
Construction of new facilities is the continuation of optimization of the company production and reduction in costs, the company's board chairman Imants Kalnins pointed out, adding that the outcome of the project would depend on successful attracting of business partners.
"Kaija" is the leading fish cannery in Latvia and the company's shares are quoted on RSE's "second list". The company posted LVL 284,091 in profit last year, but its turnover totaled LVL 11,168,319, which is 33.9 percent more than in 2001.
