Finnish food company Atria has delivered the best financial performance in its history following the launch of chicken exports to China, Xinhua Net reports.
In 2025, net sales rose to 1.81 billion euros, while adjusted operating profit increased to 69.9 million euros – both the highest figures recorded by the company.
“The year 2025 was strong for Atria and successful in many ways,” Chief Executive Officer Kai Gyllstrom said in a statement.
Exports of chicken meat to China began in December 2024 after market access was secured during an official visit by Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
According to Atria, the start of shipments to China and improved efficiency at its poultry plant in western Finland supported the annual result.
The company operates in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia and is one of the Nordic region’s largest food producers.
