César Garbalena stated with regard to markets of destination: “I would like to highlight the excellent performance of our exports to a number of nearby European markets: Portugal (figures have increased by 25% compared to 2017), France (+22%) and Italy (+17%), as well as the Czech Republic (where the figure has mul- tiplied by 2.2). In America we continue to record excellent sales in the United States (+14.9%) and Mexico (+10.7%). Asia has lost the drive of recent years and although China has grown by 5%, India has lost 30% on the figure reached in 2017, falling back almost to 2016 figures and dropping out of the top 10 export destinations”. 5 Left: Xabier Ortueta, AFM General Manager; right: César Garbalena, AFM Chairman.
