We operate in Tauragė, Šiauliai and Bauska (LV) regions. Carrying out activities in the regions is favorable because we can be closer to each other, get to know and understand each other better. But we also face challenges when we are looking for new employees, especially highly qualified specialists. We constantly evaluate the problems of the operational regions, actively search for and find solutions for attracting employees.
In the European Union, great attention is paid to the Green Course, and ambitious climate change mitigation goals are set.
The requirements for business are growing and changing very rapidly. This requires both a quick reaction and additional investments, which will only increase in the future.

In H1 2024, sales revenue increased by 12.9 percent comparing to the same period in 2023.


Total segment turnover in 6 months 2024 increased by 24.2% compared to 2023 for the same period. This was mainly influenced by the cream category.
Sales of cheese and cheese products remained at a similar level in the first half of the year as the export markets were stable in 2023, and demand matched supply. The production volume remained stable.
In the cream category, in contrast to the beginning of 2023, in the first half of 2024, we had both quantity growth (+24%), and consistent price growth. Since the beginning of the year, there has been a greater need than usual, which is expected to last until the end of the year.


In the first half of 2024, sales volumes fell by about 30%, but sales turnover remained the same as H1 2023. This has been influenced by price growth
VILVI GROUP generates the most revenue in this segment from the sale of whey proteins - about 55% (although in quantitative terms it accounts for only 11%). Prices, which fell throughout the first half of 2023, have started to rise steadily since the second half. The price is set at the beginning of this year. Since then, the market has been balanced and regular sales volumes have recovered.

Quantity, thousand tons Turnover, million EUR
During the reporting period, turnover decreased by 14.8%, compared to the same period in 2023. More than 84% of fresh milk products were sold on the local market, where the selling price was lower than last year. At the beginning of 2024, in accordance with the EU Regulation, and in order to insist on the packaging of oral products, new line deployment was carried out, affecting production limits and supply of products.


In the first half of 2024, VILVI GROUP sales revenue increased by 16.0% compared to the same period in 2023.
In H1 2024, exports accounted for 86% of all Group sales. This is 2 percentage points higher than 2023 for the same period.
The rise in sales revenue in the EU countries is linked to a general increase in prices for the fat and dry products market. The structure of sales regions and sales channels remained stable, sufficiently diversified, without risk of economic or political influence.
2024 in the first 6 months has been exported to more than 60 countries, but the main export markets for VILVI GROUP remain Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Saudi Arabia.
Exports of products to countries subject to EU sanctions were not carried out in 2024.
In the first half of 2024, sales in Lithuania decreased by 3% compared to the same period last year. This was influenced by a temporary decrease in prices for both fresh dairy products in the country and a temporary decrease in the quantity of the drinkable products due to the introduction of new equipment.
