Spanish meat producer Carnes Felix presented its new value-added products at this year's edition of Gulfood alongside its classical products such as beef, lamb and poultry with the aim to conquer new markets.
Felix Lurbe Bellido, export manager at Carnes Felix, told EuroMeatNews that the company promotes in the Middle East markets mostly mutton and lamb such as cuts or carcases and cooked products.
"The idea is to build again the markets that we had here in Saudi Arabia and also in the EU. on this market we promote basically mutton and lamb in cuts or at carcases and also other products that are a bit more value-added as our cooked products.", said Bellido.
In addition, Mr Bellido believes that the Middle East market is going to be really good for business this year as the Spanish lamb and mutton products are becoming more popular among consumers for their quality. "I think that the market is going to be really good because there is a new trend in the Spanish lamb and mutton and the quality of it, of course, is outstanding", mentioned the export manager of Carnes Felix.
