Just a bad translation. umsatzstarke means lucrative, so "lucrative, or high-profit" countries.

In the context of a retailer, "high turnover" means that individual products spend very little time on the shelf before being sold, and they are replaced with new products very quickly. For LIDL that means places where they have very busy stores. These places are "lucrative" because they are busy, but are not at all "high profit" - they sell products with extremely small profit margins.
