| 1349 | CJEU takes the final decision on the halal slaughterhouses dispute in Belgium | Ritual slaughter without stunning can only take place in approved slaughterhouses and the Flemish law does not limit religious freedom, ruled the EU's Court of Justice. | <p>The dispute between the Flemish Region government and the Muslim organization in Belgium has been tranched by the EU's Court of Justice (CJEU). Ritual slaughter without stunning can only take place in approved slaughterhouses, decided the judges, ruling that the law does not limit the religious freedom.</p> <p>Since 1998, Belgium law stipulated that ritual slaughter could only take place in approved or temporary slaughterhouses. In 2014, the Flemish Region government overhaul the regulation by banning temporary slaughterhouses. The measure was contested by the Muslim organizations in Belgium who were saying that such a decision will limit the amount of halal meat in the period of Muslim Feast of Sacrifice, a holiday celebrated by all the Muslims in the world, informs Portal Spozywczy.</p> <p>Nevertheless, EUCJ noticed that the new Flemish regulation allows the halal slaughtering ritual to be carried out in a slaughterhouse approved by the competent authority and in which the technical requirements for construction, layout and equipment are complied with. From this perspective, the complaint regarding the limitation of religious freedom was rejected.<br />It was pointed out that ritual slaughter is subject to the same technical conditions that apply to each slaughtering of an animal within the Union, irrespective of the method used.</p> <p>The CJEU also emphasized that the issue raised in the lawsuit regarding the lack of "slaughtering capacity" in one of the regions of a member state, related to the increase in demand within a few days in connection with the Feast of Sacrifice, "results from a combination of internal circumstances that can not affect the validity Regulation."</p> <p>(<em>Photo source: Eat Halal</em>)</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-05-31 11:09:30 | 2025-08-06 17:43:43 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 6770 | Choosing the right meat slicer is key to saving time, money and space | We’re all feeling the pinch in this current economic situation, and everyone is looking for ways to save – without compromising quality. If you’re creating cold cuts, a Marel meat slicing machine, with its unique features, gives you market-leading technology and three significant ways to save. | <p>With the world experiencing historically high energy prices, it makes sense to choose an industrial slicer that will help you minimize electricity consumption. This will not only have a positive effect on your bottom line but also on sustainability through reducing resource usage, which is a vital consideration for modern food processors.</p> <p>At Marel, we are always looking for ways to reduce the amount of energy needed in food processing. That’s why a Marel slicing solution with ECO SLICING technology should be your first choice. This unique technology allows you to slice at higher temperatures. Raw materials need less preparation beforehand, which significantly reduces your energy costs while providing the highest quality end-products.</p> <p>Whether you’re delivering to tight deadlines or need to respond quickly to changing consumer demand, you want a meat slicer that operates at the highest levels of efficiency to optimize your production time.</p> <p>Having the right blade technology is top priority, as it gives you the most efficient slicing of the widest range of raw materials. Having machines that are reliable and easy to operate is also an important factor. In addition, having the flexibility to scale production quickly and easily is key to making the most of your production time.</p> <p>We have designed our slicing solutions to give you greater efficiency than other equivalent meat slicing machines. From the innovative TREIF blade technology that reduces idle cuts to the range of expansion modules and adjustable belts, which allow production to be quickly and easily scaled, everything focuses on maximizing production time.</p> <p>Our machines use slicing technology to cut through the competition and can slice and stack simultaneously, lowering non-productive time. They can also handle multiple units of the same product at once.

Choosing an industrial food slicer with a smaller footprint not only saves valuable floor space but also increases your flexibility to respond to changing markets. A smaller machine can also give a higher output per square meter of production space. There’s also the benefit of lower shipping costs and less time required for installation.</p> <p>Marel meat slicers have a considerably smaller footprint than comparable machines on the market. Advanced slicing doesn't need to take up a lot of space and their compact and mobile design can easily integrate into a line or stand-alone. In addition, they have the benefit of lower cost of ownership and lower maintenance requirements compared to similar industrial slicers.</p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-09-28 00:05:21 | 2025-08-06 00:42:39 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 4480 | Chinese vets trigger the alarm on new ASF strains | The new strain, called HuB20, was isolated from pork sampled in a market in central Hubei province. | <p>China's problems on ASF are far from over, as researchers from Changchun Military Veterinary Institute have discovered a new strain of African swine fever. According to them, the strain is less deadly than the one that devastated the local herd. At least two other new strains of the disease have already been found on pig farms in China. They are causing a chronic form of ASF that is affecting production on parent farms. Scientists are saying the virus appears to have undergone a natural mutation. On the other hand, some of the strains analyzed earlier presented characteristics attributed to strains believed to have been made for use in illicit vaccines.<br />On the other hand, experts from North America are convinced the Chinese pig inventory will drop again this year, despite the efforts made in rebuilding the herd.<br />"The widespread inoculation of substandard (illegal) ASF vaccines has made inoculated pigs infectious with mutated African Swine Fever virus. Mortality of infectious pigs can reach 70% which obviously cuts hog supply. What is even more frightening is that the modified virus can be transmitted through the air. If one pig is vaccinated the whole farm may be infected by African Swine Fever. One other report estimates some provinces sow inventory have declined 50%. Due to the rise of sow slaughter, the inventory of sows is estimated nationally to have declined 1.76 million in the 3 months November 2020 to January 2021 (10%)", commented Jim Long, President and CEO of Genesus.<br />From his perspective, China's pork production recovery will slow down, leading to more pork imports for the following months.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2021-02-16 08:53:21 | 2025-08-06 14:54:31 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 3194 | Chinese poultry sector to increase production by 15% | Chicken meat production in the country is expected to reach almost 16 million tonnes in 2020 as the consumers are shifting away from expensive pork products. | <p>Due to the ASF situation in China, pork prices have jumped by more than 35% in the last 5 month and the trend is expecting to continue as the national herd is going to shink further. Poultry will represent the main substitute for pork, according to USDA experts in Beijing. Their latest outlook for the Chinese poultry market shows that production is expected to grow by 15% in the 12 months, reaching to 15.96 million. At the same time, poultry imports will increase by at least 20% to reach 600,000 tonnes.<br />"Feed companies responding to the declining swine feed demand have switched their feed formulas normally meant for pigs to chicken, given the reduced swineherd. Ample feed supplies will support this current poultry expansion," mentioned the report from USDA's office in Beijing, quoted by <a href="https://www.agricensus.com/Article/China-s-2019-chicken-production-to-rise-15-on-pork-herd-fallout-7991.html">Agricensus</a>.<br />Furthermore, some traditional Chinese pork producers are now expanding into white-feather chicken production in other to take advantage of the boom.</p> <p>Brazil is expected to be the leading exporter of chicken to China, followed by Thailand and France. US imports have been embargoed since 2014 after an outbreak of avian flu in the country and a reconsideration of the ban is unlikely as the two countries are currently in the middle of a trade war.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2019-08-22 09:53:39 | 2025-08-06 18:06:02 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 2947 | Chinese poultry exports to the EU hit a six-year high in April | Low-tariff quotas helped Shandong poultry producers to export 4,097 tonnes of poultry. | <p>In April, China's poultry exports to the EU reached 4,097 tonnes of poultry products, a six-year high, due to low-quotas applied on Chinese poultry since April 1, informs <a href="https://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-05/17/c_138067039.htm">Xinhuanet</a> agency.<br />As the only Chinese province which exports poultry meat to the EU, Shandong exported 4,097 tonnes of poultry products, worth 100 million yuan ($14.5 million), marking a year-on-year increase of 32.2 percent and 48 percent, respectively.<br />The EU had agreed to grant more low-tariff quotas to Chinese poultry meat, including the quotas for 5,000 tonnes of chicken meat and 6,600 tonnes of duck meat after China filed a complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) over high poultry tariffs in April 2015.<br />In April 2017, the WTO ruled that EU's poultry tariff quota management had violated its rules. A final agreement was reached a year later and was implemented since last month. Also, starting this year, poultry export enterprises in Shandong will receive training in various aspects, including breeding, slaughtering and hot processing, in order to meet the requirements of importing countries.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2019-05-28 09:37:41 | 2025-08-06 08:52:48 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 3210 | Chinese pork imports to double by 2020 - broker | A sharp decline in the Chinese pig herd is going to accelerate pork imports up to 4.2 million tonnes in 2020. | <p>Broker and consultancy firm INTL FCStone is expecting a double volume of pork imports in China in 2020 due to the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak. Last year, China imported 2.1 million tonnes of pork and it could reach 4.2 million tonnes in 2020, said Renato Rasmussen, Director of Commodity Intelligence at INTL FCStone. Increased imports of poultry and beef are also expected as part of the Chinese consumers will switch from pork to other animal protein.<br />FCStone estimated during a commodities outlook conference in Sao Paulo that China's pork meat production will fall to 38 million tonnes in 2019 from 54 million tonnes in 2018. It expects the production to fall further to 34 million tonnes in 2020, as the country will continue to struggle to control the disease, informs the <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/article/chinese-pork-imports-seen-doubling-over-two-years-by-2020-fcstone-20190826-00575">Nasdaq </a>website.</p> <p>Rasmussen expects that the EU, Japan and South Korea will benefit from rising Chinese pork imports as Beijing is currently engaged in a trade war with the US and has blocked pork imports from Canada. The analyst said Brazil could benefit from the situation, not only from higher pork exports but as well by shipping more beef and poultry.</p> <p>"I believe beef trade could benefit the most because it would be a more natural transition for Chinese consumers to opt for beef than poultry. China will overcome the situation, but it will take time. The country will have to completely modernize its pork production system," he said. According to the latest outlook from Rabobank, China's pig inventory could drop by 50% next year and it could take up to 5 years to rebuild its herd.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-08-28 08:18:15 | 2025-08-05 18:06:28 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 5728 | Chinese pig prices strengthen | After showing tentative rises through early April, Chinese pork prices picked up pace through the spring and into summer, informs AHDB. This growth has been reportedly spurred by tighter pig supplies, partly as producers held back pigs, and partly from stronger consumer demand. According to government reports, authorities are encouraging producers to maintain production and releasing stocks in an attempt to curb price inflation. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Chinese government recently announced that pork bought into storage would be released onto the market from September in time for heightened demand from autumn festivals. Demand continues to be affected by the uncertain COVID-19 situation, with restrictions still in place across parts of the country.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Chinese pig production increased during the first half of 2022, with slaughtering up 8% versus the same period a year ago. Profitability had been challenged during this time, but the recent price rises have reportedly improved the situation for producers. Indeed, government data shows the breeding sow inventory has been increasing month-on-month since May.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, China’s pig meat import volumes during the second quarter were much lower than in previous years, although in line with the level recorded in quarter one. For the first half of the year, imports were down 64% compared to the same period in 2021 at 799,000 tonnes (-68% from EU). All main suppliers to China have sent less, Spain in particular. Imports are expected to improve somewhat in the second half of the year, as consumer demand improves, and higher domestic prices encourage imports. However, import demand is expected to stay significantly lower than 2021.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2022-09-21 04:37:23 | 2025-08-05 11:06:24 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 3502 | Chinese meat prices remain high | Pork has doubled the value over the last 6 months, whilst beef and lamb are climbing continuously. | <p>The picture of the Chinese meat market remains promising for meat exporters, believe Rebecca Oborne, Analyst - Red Meat, AHDB. Although the Asian giant is taking more meat from all over the world, prices are at levels never seen in this market.<br />"A rise in import has not been enough to stop wholesale meat prices from rising.

| 2510 | Chinese local authorities urged to protect pork supplies | During the Chinese New Year holiday, increased consumption of pork is expected to raise problems in the provinces affected by ASF outbreaks. | <p>Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, has asked the local authorities to take steps to ensure a sufficient supply of pork while maintaining their efforts against African swine fever.<br />By now, the ministry released 9,600 tonnes of frozen reserve pork into the market and has instructed local governments to release more to ensure availability to consumers. Spring Festival, the beginning of the new year according to the Chinese lunar calendar, starts next week, on February 4, and it will last for a week, a period that represents a peak in food consumption in China.<br />24 provinces in China have reported ASF outbreaks in the last 6 months and transport of pigs and pork products between those provinces and other parts of the country has been restricted. Zhu Zengyong, an analyst at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said restricting the transport of pigs has resulted in a reduced supply of pork over the past months in some areas of southern China that traditionally rely on pigs imported from other regions which may cause price hikes ahead of Spring Festival, according to <a href="https://www.ecns.cn/news/2019-01-31/detail-ifzeerre7964714.shtml">ECNS</a> news.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-01-31 09:44:08 | 2025-08-06 00:53:20 | Details Edit Delete | ||
