Italy, key market for Belgian pork exports

In 2022 pork exports from Belgium to Italy grew with 11%. Less carcasses were exported but more meat cuts, especially hams. Italy remains the 5th export destination for Belgian pork.

Belgium may be a small country in Europe, but it is a big player in the European meat industry. Why do Belgian meat suppliers play such a prominent role? Because they have transformed their small scale (seemingly a disadvantage at first glance) into significant benefits-thanks to their  specialisation, their tailor-made service and their pioneering work in food safety.

Belgian meat suppliers are first and foremost family businesses who strive for maximum added value for their customers. Belgium’s efficient and modern meat processing industry is particularly known for its flexibility. Generations of perfectionists seek to bring safe, high quality meat to the market. From the production of feed to veterinary services to the slaughterhouses and cutting plants—each next link in the chain is as important as the previous. That’s why in every part of the process, you’ll find professionals who are expert in their field, and who are passionate about their job.

Slaughterers and cutters strive for maximum added value for their customers. That is why they have a very flexible approach to finishing, cutting and packaging. They adapt to meet the customer’s requirements. The great strength of Belgian companies is that they offer customised products. And often that is what distinguishes the Belgians from their competition. The diversity of companies and the competition between them results in a high degree of professionalism whilst preserving the individual character of each company.

From 8-11th of May 7 Belgian pork exporters will be present at Tuttofood in Milano. You can find them in Hall 2 at booth C13-D16.
