Chiruca suffered a 12.2 percent decline in its sales to €12.5 million in 2011, according to CMD, as lower consumption levels in Spain combined with adverse weather conditions to drag them down from the record level of €14.2 million reached in 2010. On the other hand, sales outside Spain grew by more than 6 percent in volume and by 15 percent in value, representing 30 percent of the total turnover. Poland remained the biggest export destination. Sales increases were recorded in France, Sweden, Portugal, Norway and Denmark. Further increases are expected in the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe.
