MEXICO CITY, Jan 28, 2003 (El Economista/Corporate Mexico by Internet Securities, Inc. via COMTEX) -- Mexican winery Ch?teau Camou reported that its
production for export could increase by 40% in 2003 as it starts distributing its products in Canada. During 2002, the company, located in Ensenada,
Baja California, produced 22,000 boxes of wine, of which 17,325 were made with grapes from its own vineyards, which cover more than 6,000 hectares.
The remaining 4,675 boxes were made from raw materials acquired from other vineyards.Ch?teau Camou wants to increase its own production to "at least
20,000 or 25,000 boxes this year, as long as the quality is the same," said the firm. The company reported that is currently exporting 25% of its
production and it expects to increase that to around 40% in 2003. "We are not interested in producing 50,000 or 60,000 boxes, but in maintaining
quality and positioning our brand at better prices because we are as good as the French," said executives. The company assured that increases in the
prices of its products would be proportional to the quality of the wines.
