Q: Can a company have a "sector"? "The company's meat sector produces over 400 tonnes/day"

CowperKettleI have a Russian sentence: Общая производительность мясной отрасли компании превышает 400 тонн в сутки. Which, put literally, translates into In total, the company's meat sector produces more than 400 tonnes per day. But it feels to me like in English a company cannot have a sector, and it's ...

phrase-usage terminology
Despite what FumbleFingers says in the comments, I feel that sector may be out of place in an English text.

It is out of place. The common terminology for a part of a company is: division, unit, department. I really do not understand why you would not interact with me since I used to WRITE about companies and am far from clueless about them. Also, product line can be used, but not for "meat" per se.
sector is typically used for business sector. YES. And: Oil & Gas, a sector of the economy.
@CowperKettle I just posted the comment above.
