So far Aldaris exported its

The company said that in November Aldaris
in cooperation with the Latvian Investments and Development Agency presented Mezpils
dark beer at the economic and trade, technologies and culture forum of the
Central and Eastern Europe and China.
"Even though the cooperation agreement with China was signed a year
ago, so far there has been a long process of strengthening cooperation,
inspections and certifications in line with China’s legislation and food safety
regulations," said the company said, adding that this year the first test
shipment of 10,000 liters of Mezpils dark beer has been sent to China.
Meanwhile, the company’s newest market is the Netherlands. Two cooperation
agreements have been signed in this market. In France a cooperation with one of
the retail chains has been signed.
The company continues search for new cooperation partners in Europe and
outside Europe.
Aldaris exports its

of cheaper or PET-bottled beers to other Carlsberg group breweries in Lithuania
and Estonia.

part of the Carlsberg group, one of the world's largest beer makers.
