6865  Argentine continues to recover export markets for its poultry products  Singapore accepted Senasa's proposal to send merchandise from regions located outside the areas affected by avian influenza (AI).  <p>The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of Argentine reports that Singapore communicated its decision to resume the import of poultry products from Argentina, thus, just over a month after temporarily losing its status as a country free of avian influenza, Due to the presence of the disease in commercial farms, and self-suspending exports of poultry products in compliance with international standards, Argentine is beginning to recover these markets.</p> <p>The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) informed the National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (Senasa) of its agreement with the proposal sent that the poultry, ornamental birds and poultry products to be exported come from areas located outside areas with HPAI cases.</p> <p>The SFA requested to incorporate this agreement into the International Veterinary Certificate proposed by Senasa to cover shipments of poultry meat as well as ornamental and poultry birds.</p> <p>Senasa must also inform the SFA if any of the establishments authorized to export poultry meat are located in the affected areas.</p> <p>Thus, Singapore joins Uruguay, which approved the new export certificates for pre-fried meat, hydrolyzed viscera, egg products, canned poultry and pork and fresh meats, and products based on poultry meat from Argentine.</p> <p>Previously, Senasa had also agreed to resume shipments to Russia, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and some African countries, of fresh poultry meat from areas without the presence of the disease.</p> <p>Likewise, the negotiations initiated by Senasa together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nation with other commercial partners continue in order to readjust the export certificates and resume shipments.</p> <p>Negotiations are also underway with countries that import thermo-processed poultry meat, powdered or pasteurized eggs, given that these products do not carry risk since these treatments inactivate the HPAI virus, and work is being done to restore exports of poultry genetics to Mercosur countries and Mexico, in compliance with international recommendations for the exchange of these goods.</p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-09 00:05:30  2025-07-28 07:35:35  Details Edit Delete
6866  Norway: Meat consumption decreased slightly last year  New figures show that meat consumption fell by three per cent in 2022, but overall consumption has been stable over the past 15 years.   <p><span lang="DE">In total, the calculated consumption was 58 kg per person in 2022, which is a decrease of 1.8 kg from the previous year.&nbsp;The consumption of red meat fell by 4.6 per cent, while there was an increase in white meat of 1.4 per cent.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">"</span><span lang="DE">Since 2007, Norwegian meat consumption has been fairly stable.&nbsp;But there has been a shift from red to more white meat.&nbsp;Since 1990, the consumption of red meat has increased by 3.9 kg per person, while the consumption of white meat has increased by 12.7 kg.&nbsp;In 1990, red meat accounted for 87% of consumption.&nbsp;Today, this figure is 70%.&nbsp;The decrease in consumption can be due to several reasons.&nbsp;Changed private finances and reduced purchasing power for many, combined with higher meat prices, are probably the most important.&nbsp;But the decline can also be seen in the context of an increased focus on health and climate issues which are often linked to red meat", says Karianne Spetaas Henriksen, Head of Department at Animalia.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"There is a lot of attention around meat consumption and how the figures change from year to year.&nbsp;Major changes between individual years are not always real, but are often due to the fact that meat that has been produced and placed in cold storage is not necessarily consumed in the same year, but it is still registered as consumed in the year it was produced.&nbsp;This can lead to apparently larger changes in annual consumption figures", says Spetaas Henriksen.</span></p>  1    Retail adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-09 00:10:52  2025-07-28 13:42:32  Details Edit Delete

We came to the conclusion that Brazil is an extraordinary country with gigantic potential", said Wesley.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The businessman continued: "We operate in many places around the world, and see that few places enjoy the same conditions present in Brazil: democracy, strong established institutions, credibility, from a fiscal point of view". For Wesley, "when we look at other places, we don't easily find situations around the world like we have in Brazil. That's why we're super optimistic. I believe Brazil is back and it's the star of the moment. We are definitely going to see Brazil take off again. We are very optimistic.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In his speech, the president of the J&amp;F Institute, Joesley Batista, highlighted the importance of investing in education.&nbsp;"Today I visited this wonderful factory, but the best thing we have is our people.

Joesley spoke of the need to motivate other companies to also focus on education and teaching people to work better each day.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Alckmin also commented on the J&amp;F Institute, the initials for Jos&eacute; (Jos&eacute; Batista Sobrinho, founder of JBS) and Flora, his wife.&nbsp;"There is no love more sublime than that of a mother and a father for a child".&nbsp;And, he continued, "what parents want most for their children is for them to be able to study and have a profession that allows them to support themselves".&nbsp;The vice president used President Lula's example of how education makes a difference.&nbsp;With his Senai certificate, he was the first in his family to have a job with a formal contract, the first to own a TV, a car and a house.&nbsp;"I would like to congratulate J&amp;F's shareholders for their care for youth", said Alckmin.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">On a 257 thousand square meter site, with 54 thousand square meters of built-up area, the plant in Rol&acirc;ndia (PR) employs 4,500 people and will allow Seara to advance its strategy of expanding into value-added products, particularly in the chicken breading segment, where it already holds over 30% market share, and also in sausages, for which it has ambitious plans.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The governor of Paran&aacute;, Ratinho Jr., thanked for the investments and made a connection between the new facilities in Rol&acirc;ndia and the state's focus on being "the world's supermarket", with constant dedication to transforming Paran&aacute; into the state with "the greatest capacity to industrialize what is produced on its lands".&nbsp;The Rol&acirc;ndia expansion reinforces JBS' position in the state of Paran&aacute;, which is already an important hub for the company's activities, with 14 thousand employees.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Globally, over the last two years, JBS has been strengthening its position in high value-added products.&nbsp;For example, in the European and American markets, with the acquisitions of the Sunnyvalley, Pilgrim's Food Masters and King's Group brands, as well as with the construction of Principe's Italian specialties factory in Missouri, in the United States.&nbsp;The expansion of Rol&acirc;ndia's industrial complex is part of this initiative.</span></p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-09 00:15:29  2025-07-28 04:35:32  Details Edit Delete
6868  ULMA Packaging, optimising packaging processes through automation  Automation helps to transform packaging operations and deliver a number of key benefits for businesses.  <p style="font-weight: 400;">In an increasingly competitive business environment, automation has become a key strategy for maximising performance, return on investment and process control. By integrating advanced control systems and specialised machinery, companies can significantly increase their production capacity and improve packaging quality.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, you can delve into the world of packaging process automation, and explore how automated solutions can optimise operations, reduce costs and improve the overall efficiency of the packaging line.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For better understanding please read the interview of Jon Larreategi, Product Manager and an expert in the automation of packaging processes, who answered key questions about the benefits and best practices when it comes to implementing automation in this vital area of the industry.</p> <p><strong>What benefits do you think automation can bring to the packaging process?</strong></p> <p>It will depend on the needs and area or business of each company, but there is no doubt that automation provides many benefits, most notably:</p> <ul> <li>An increase in production capacity and the number of packs per machine</li> <li>Greater packaging line efficiency (OEE)</li> <li>Improved production flow within plants</li> <li>Material and cost savings for each pack</li> <li>Savings in labour costs</li> <li>Reduced maintenance and repair costs</li> </ul> <p><strong>What kinds of companies may need to automate their packaging processes?</strong></p> <p>Any company is able to partially or fully automate its packaging line. But each company is different and does not have the same needs. That is why at ULMA Packaging we tackle each project differently and tailor the approach and resources according to the size and automation requirements of each company.</p> <p>For&nbsp;large<u>&nbsp;</u>companies&nbsp;with complex plants and several packaging lines, we can handle full or partial projects either by designing a solution from scratch or by integrating any existing packaging technology into an automatic line, making the packaging process as efficient and reliable as possible.</p> <p>For&nbsp;smaller<u>&nbsp;</u>companies&nbsp;with more flexible requirements for the automation of primary packaging machines, we design and integrate custom solutions. We tailor our automation technologies to optimise the performance and efficiency of packaging lines, bearing in mind the specific requirements of each customer</p> <p><strong>Which automation solutions are most demanded?</strong></p> <p>In my experience, I see that many companies require automatic systems to facilitate product HANDLING and DISTRIBUTION to the different parts of the packaging process. Others however, only require the optimisation or automation of PRODUCT FEEDING to the primary packaging machines.</p> <p>We must also remember the INSPECTION SYSTEMS that enable proper product and packaging quality control.</p> <p>Finally, many other companies with packaging machinery require an end of line SECONDARY AND TERTIARY PACKAGING solution that often ends in PALLETISING.</p> <p>Having said that, looking at the range of products that we offer, our wide range of packaging machines and fully automated systems mean that we can offer our customers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ulmapackaging.com/en/packaging-machines" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.ulmapackaging.com/en/packaging-machines&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1699535702223000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3KgK6CFFSyoeyu6OpWjnsV"><strong>primary packaging</strong></a>&nbsp;machines and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ulmapackaging.com/en/fully-automated-solutions" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.ulmapackaging.com/en/fully-automated-solutions&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1699535702223000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0rjKHump3xmZVngzKaq4eM"><strong>turnkey solutions</strong></a>&nbsp;that are tailored to their needs.</p> <p>Whether we are designing a solution from scratch or integrating specific technology into our customers' packaging processes, we strive to improve the efficiency and reliability of those processes.</p> <p><strong>Can you explain how ULMA Packaging can help different companies to automate and optimise packaging lines?</strong></p> <p>In ULMA Packaging's automation division, our job entails assessing the specific needs of each customer and developing custom solutions that optimise productivity and minimise start-up times, while occupying as little plant space as possible.</p> <p>This requires us to work side by side with each customer, as each project is different. It also requires conceptualisation and working together in order to achieve good results.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What types of technologies and process controls are typically used to ensure high productivity rates and optimal packaging quality?</strong></p> <p>The chosen process control technologies and methods will depend on the type of packaging and the specific manufacturing process. For example, we use:</p> <ul> <li>Automatic control systems, such as PLC and SCADA, to monitor and adjust the various process parameters.</li> <li>In-line inspection systems, such as machine vision cameras and sensors, to detect and correct any defects and perform in-line quality control as the packaging is manufactured.</li> <li>Traceability systems: Barcode or RFID tags are used to track and log relevant information about the manufacturing process, making it easier to trace and identify problems.</li> <li>Process control systems (PCS), quality control and data analysis.</li> </ul> <p>At ULMA Packaging, we use OEE indicator-based efficiency control systems to ensure high productivity rates and optimal quality and efficiency in packaging solutions.</p> <p>To do so, we capture production data from the line in real time and provide tools to analyse this data to ensure correct decision-making. Furthermore, we implement strict process control to ensure consistency and reliability at all stages of packaging.</p> <p>Additionally, ULMA machines are designed for seamless integration with the main production planning systems (MES, ERP, SCADA). This integration allows key information to be shared, e.g. regarding manufacturing order management, parameter files, alarms and equipment efficiency management.</p> <p><strong>What are the benefits of working with a single-source supplier?</strong></p> <p>The benefits of working with a single source supplier lie in the ability to integrate proprietary machines and third-party equipment into a packaging line that delivers optimal performance and efficiency.</p> <p>This ensures an efficient workflow and smooth communication between the customer's company and the supplier, facilitating the management and optimal development of the project.</p> <p><strong>How do you ensure the successful start-up and reliability of the packaging line?</strong><strong><br /><br /></strong>Unlike other suppliers, we perform&nbsp;<strong>testing on the lines</strong>&nbsp;in our factory before they are sent to the customer. These tests include operating checks, quality controls and simulations of real production scenarios. This allows us to reduce the start-up curve and ensure that the line is ready for optimal operation from day one.</p> <p><strong>Could you provide some examples of customised projects you have carried out in the past? How do you tailor the design to the specific requirements of each customer?</strong><strong><br /><br /></strong>As I said earlier, because each sector has its own characteristics, our approach is based on customised projects. Thanks to the experience we have gained over the years, we have in-depth knowledge of packaging processes and extensive experience in automation technologies, enabling us to design custom machines and solutions that maximise efficiency and meet individual requirements.</p>  1    Technology adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-10 00:05:06  2025-07-28 14:20:18  Details Edit Delete
6869  Hybu Cig Cymru-Meat Promotion Wales: Increase in sheep export volumes  Increases in both sheep export tonnages and lamb domestic consumer sales volumes help form a positive set of headlines within the latest round of red meat industry statistics.  <p><span lang="DE">However, a number of factors continue to impact on the UK sheep sector during 2023 &ndash; including elevated farm input costs, inflationary pressures on red meat consumers, and weather impacting grass growing conditions, reports the latest edition of&nbsp;<a name="m_5999578227619736224__Hlk150348297"></a>Hybu Cig Cymru-Meat Promotion Wales&rsquo; (HCC) Market Bulletin report.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">It says that, on the export front, the latest trade data from HMRC indicates fresh/frozen sheep meat exported during August totalled 6,400 tonnes - an eight per cent increase on the year. Volumes of sheep meat exported overall during the eight-month period are up ten per cent on the year, with 94 per cent of the total volume destined for the EU.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Some EU countries are indicating declines in their domestic production, which could well benefit UK exports, along with much of New Zealand&rsquo;s exported product continuing to be sent to China", writes Glesni Phillips, HCC&rsquo;s Intelligence, Analysis &amp; Business Insight Executive. &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">At home, lamb producer prices have stabilised and are now recording higher than both year-earlier and five-year averages, "Lamb liveweight prices in Wales have been volatile during the year to date but reached a new high of 356.8p/kg for new season lambs during the end of May. They have since stabilised somewhat but are now recording higher than both year-earlier levels and the five-year average", said Glesni.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">She observed grocery price Inflation was falling but remained historically high. "As a result, consumers continue to experience higher prices at retail and therefore continue to look for ways to manage their budgets. We have seen average prices for lamb in British retail record notable increases for the last 18-months or so. For example, during the four weeks ending 1st October 2023, the average price of lamb at retail was &pound;12.24/kg &ndash; a 21 per cent increase on the corresponding period in 2020 where the average stood at &pound;10.10/kg".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Glesni said this puts pressure on the spending power of consumers "yet data from consumer specialists Kantar for the latest 12-week period to 1st October does reveal that the volume of lamb sold was two per cent higher on the year, driven by a five per cent increase in the number of buyers. It would seem shoppers are returning to lamb despite the higher prices, and perhaps they are now eating lamb as an occasional treat".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Volumes of fresh/frozen sheep meat imported so far in 2023 are down 24 per cent on the year to 33,000 tonnes. "It should be noted that volumes imported in August alone however did experience a notable year-on-year increase of over thirty per cent for the first time this year. This is due to higher volumes of Australian lamb being produced and exported following pressures on their farmgate prices", said Glesni.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Market Bulletin reports sheep throughput is 1.5 per cent higher than year-earlier levels at 10.2 million head. The throughput of both lambs and adult sheep are drivers behind this increase &ndash; with lambs up 1.2 per cent following peaks in March, June and August this year. Following a higher carryover of old season lambs into 2023, this was to be expected.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Despite overall higher numbers being processed at UK abattoirs, the volume of sheep meat produced on the domestic market for the year to date currently stands one per cent below year-earlier levels at 210,000 tonnes. Market Bulletin says this is due to lighter carcases being presented at UK abattoirs &ndash; for both lambs and adult sheep.</span></p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-10 00:10:34  2025-07-27 21:39:08  Details Edit Delete
6870  Seafood exports totalled NOK 18.4 billion in October  Norway exported NOK 18.4 billion worth of seafood in October. This is an increase of NOK 3.3 billion, or 22 per cent, compared to the same month last year.  <p>Never has Norway exported a higher value of seafood in a single month than in October. The last top quotation from a single month originates from March this year. The export value then ended at NOK 15.7 billion.</p> <p><strong>Best single month ever</strong></p> <p>"The growth in value for salmon continues, contributing greatly to October being the best single month ever for Norwegian seafood exports. The combination of high salmon prices, increased export volume and the weak Norwegian krone, lifted the total value to a historically high level", says the CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council, Christian Chramer.</p> <p>In October, Norway exported salmon worth NOK 12.5 billion. It accounted for 68 per cent of the total value of seafood exports last month, which is a growth of 22 per cent compared to October last year.</p> <p><strong>The export value of salmon has passed NOK 100 billion in 2023</strong></p> <p>"So far this year, the export value of salmon has increased by 18 per cent, measured in Norwegian kroner, and in October, the value passed NOK 100 billion for the year. However, much of the increase in value can be attributed to a weaker Norwegian krone. Measured in euros, the export value of salmon has only increased by 4 per cent so far this year", explains Chramer.</p> <p>So far this year, Norway has exported NOK 142.4 billion worth of seafood. In comparison, Norway exported seafood worth NOK 151.4 billion in 2022, which was a new record.</p> <p><strong>Three factors driving export value</strong></p> <p>"2023 has so far been characterised by high food inflation, increased costs and a strong currency effect. These factors have helped push up the value measured in Norwegian kroner. The result is that seafood exports this year will be at a record high", says Christian Cramer.</p> <p>In line with expensive times and reduced purchasing power, over time, there has been a decline in the import and consumption of seafood in many of the large European seafood markets.</p> <p>"The decline in inflation in recent months, as well as prospects for somewhat improved economic development, however, gives hope that demand will improve in Europe going forward", says Christian Chramer.</p> <p><strong>Facts about seafood exports in October</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>The largest markets for Norwegian seafood exports in October were Poland, Denmark and the USA.</li> <li>Poland had the largest increase in value this month, with an increase in export value of NOK 740 million, or 41 per cent, compared to the same month last year.</li> <li>The export volume to Poland ended at 37,283 tonnes, which is 18 per cent higher than the same month last year.</li> <li>Seafood was exported to a total of 116 countries in October.</li> <li>Of the wild-caught species, it was herring and mackerel that had the greatest increase in value in October.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Strong value growth for salmon</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 138,530 tonnes of salmon worth NOK 12.5 billion in October</li> <li>The value increased by NOK 2.3 billion, or 22 per cent, compared to October last year</li> <li>There is a growth in volume of 6 per cent</li> <li>Poland, France and Denmark were the biggest markets for salmon in October</li> </ul> <p>Poland had the largest increase in value this month, with an increase in export value of NOK 660 million, or 41 per cent, compared to the same month last year. The export volume to Poland ended at 27,462 tonnes, which is 18 per cent higher than the same month last year.</p> <p><strong>Increased processing in the lead-up to the Christmas sale</strong></p> <p>"The reason is that processing, especially for smoked salmon, increases in the run-up to the Christmas sales. Even though the price measured in euros is above last year's level", says Paul T. Aandahl, Seafood Analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>Italy was the third largest growth market for salmon in October, after Poland and Denmark. Growth was as much as 50 per cent, to NOK 2.3 billion.</p> <p><strong>Strong demand in Italy</strong></p> <p>"Even though the coronavirus pandemic, increased inflation and high price growth have contributed to significantly higher living costs, Norwegian salmon has done well in the Italian market", says Tom-J&oslash;rgen Gangs&oslash;, the Norwegian Seafood Council's envoy to Italy.</p> <p>He points to the weak Norwegian krone as an explanation, but also the relatively strong demand for Norwegian salmon in Italy.</p> <p>"Salmon has a large shelf space in the grocery store compared to other seafood. In addition, there has been a large increase in the number of restaurants with salmon on the menu in recent years.

This is more than a doubling in both value and volume compared to October last year.</p> <p><strong>Wild-caught cod is affected by various factors</strong></p> <p>"The export of wild-caught fresh cod is falling in line with lower quotas and landings", says Eivind Hestvik Br&aelig;kkan, Seafood Analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>While Spain was the largest destination country for farmed cod in October, with an export volume of over 300 tonnes, over 80 per cent of the wild-caught cod ended up in the transit country Denmark.</p> <p><strong>Increased exports to Spain</strong></p> <p>"The Spanish love fresh Norwegian cod and are our biggest cod market. It is gratifying that the export of fresh cod to Spain also continues outside the flounder season", says the Norwegian Seafood Council's envoy to Spain, Tore Holvik.</p> <p>The export volume of wild-caught fresh cod ended at 980 tonnes, worth NOK 66 million. This is a decrease of 42 per cent in volume and 38 per cent in value.</p> <p><strong>Fall in volume and value for frozen cod</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 4,349 tonnes of frozen cod worth NOK 246 million in October.</li> <li>The value fell by NOK 27 million, or 10 per cent, compared to October last year.</li> <li>Export volume fell by 7 per cent.</li> <li>China, Poland and the UK were the biggest markets for frozen cod in October.</li> </ul> <p>Although China was the largest destination country for frozen cod in October, the volume there continues to decline, as it has done all year.</p> <p>A total of 1,375 tonnes of frozen cod were exported to China in October, which is 16 per cent lower than in the same month last year.</p> <p><strong>Lowest share to China in 15 years</strong></p> <p>"So far this year, only 17 per cent of frozen cod exports have gone to China. We have to go back to 2008 to find a lower market share", says Eivind Hestvik Br&aelig;kkan, Seafood Analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>The proportion of frozen cod exported to Europe has increased significantly this year, from 56 to 71 per cent.</p> <p>"Increased geopolitical risk has given greater attention to global value chains also in the seafood industry.

In addition, clipfish of tusk and long fish were exported for NOK 32 and NOK 23 million, respectively, in October.</p> <p>"Brazil was the largest market measured in value, closely followed by Congo-Brazzaville, with an export value of NOK 75 and 72 million, respectively", says Eivind Hestvik Br&aelig;kkan, Seafood Analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p><strong>Decline to Portugal so far this year</strong></p> <p>As usual, Portugal was the largest market for cod clipfish, capturing 76 per cent of the export value and an increase in export volume of 15 per cent in October.</p> <p>So far this year, the export volume of clipfish to Portugal is 6 per cent lower than last year.</p> <p><strong>Portuguese authorities slash VAT</strong></p> <p>"In April, the authorities in Portugal reduced VAT on several essential foodstuffs, including cuttlefish. This has resulted in lower retail prices in stores and increased sales volume. The VAT reduction will positively contribute to the consumption of clipfish now leading up to Christmas. When this scheme is scheduled to end at New Year, it could impact consumption", says the Norwegian Seafood Council's envoy to Portugal, Trond Rismo.</p> <p><strong>Growth for saltfish</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 2,186 tonnes of salted fish to a value of NOK 153 million in October.</li> <li>Export value increased by NOK 45 million, or 42 per cent, compared to October last year.</li> <li>There is a growth in volume of 33 per cent.</li> <li>Portugal, Italy and Canada were the biggest markets for salted fish in October.</li> </ul> <p>Portugal had the largest increase in value this month, with an increase in export value of NOK 41 million, or 69 per cent, compared to the same month last year.</p> <p>The export volume to Portugal ended at 1,153 tonnes, which is 40 per cent higher than the same month last year.</p> <p><strong>Unchanged value for dried fish</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 521 tonnes of dried fish to a value of NOK 135 million in October.</li> <li>Export value is unchanged compared to October last year.</li> <li>Export volume fell by 4 per cent.</li> <li>Italy, Croatia and the USA were the biggest markets for dried fish in October.</li> </ul> <p>Croatia had the greatest increase in value in October, with an export value of NOK 7 million, or 46 per cent, compared to the same month last year.</p> <p>The export volume to Croatia ended at 69 tonnes, which is 26 per cent higher than the same month last year.</p> <p>"The export volume to our largest dried fish market, Italy, fell by 60 tonnes in October to 270.

The price of frozen whole NVG herring is around 20 per cent higher than last year, and only Egypt keeps up with these prices", says Jan Eirik Johnsen, Manager of Pelagic Species with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>So far this year, 61,500 tonnes of frozen whole herring have been exported, compared to 94,000 tonnes at the same time last year. This is a decrease of 35 per cent.</p> <p>"There is still good demand for herring fillets, especially in Lithuania, Poland and Germany", explains Johnsen.</p> <p>In October, 14,400 tonnes of fillet were exported, compared to 11,300 tonnes in the same month last year, an increase of 27 per cent. This is happening even though the prices for herring fillets increased by 18 per cent on average from October last year to October this year.</p> <p>"Lower herring quotas this year compared to last year and an even lower quota for NVG herring next year, together with a weak krone, contribute to a high level of export prices", says Jan Eirik Johnsen.</p> <p><strong>Growth in volume and value for mackerel</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 79,172 tonnes of mackerel to a value of NOK 1.8 billion in October.</li> <li>The value increased by NOK 357 million, or 25 per cent, compared to October last year.</li> <li>There is a growth in volume of 4 per cent.</li> <li>Japan, South Korea and China were the biggest markets for mackerel in October.</li> </ul> <p>Good volume and a record-high average price for mackerel resulted in a record-high export value in a single month.</p> <p>The average price in October this year was NOK 22.50, compared to NOK 18.70 in October last year, an increase of 20 per cent. At the same time, the price that the industry pays to the fleet has increased by 28 per cent so far this year.</p> <p><strong>Fishing takes off in British waters</strong></p> <p>"After poor fishing in the Norwegian zone in September, fishing picked up when the Norwegian boats started fishing in the British zone in October. The agreement with Great Britain in June this year enabled Norwegian fishermen to fish 135,000 tonnes in British waters. Of this, only 400 tonnes now remain. For the fleet, there are now approx. 35,000 tonnes in the Norwegian zone", says Jan Eirik Johnsen, Manager of Pelagic Species with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p><strong>Increased direct exports to Japan</strong></p> <p>The trend of increased direct exports to Japan and increased exports for processing in Vietnam instead of China continues.</p> <p>"So far this year, 55,000 tonnes have been exported to Japan, compared to 45,000 tonnes last year, an increase of 22 per cent. So far this year, 21,000 tonnes have gone to China, compared to 50,000 tonnes at the same time last year, a decrease of 58 per cent", says Johnsen.</p> <p><strong>Strong export month for king crab</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 235 tonnes of king crab worth NOK 125 million in October</li> <li>Export value increased by NOK 47 million, or 61 per cent, compared to October last year</li> <li>There is a growth in volume of 113 per cent</li> <li>The USA, Vietnam and Hong Kong SAR were the biggest markets for king crab in October.</li> </ul> <p>"Despite the increased supply of Russian king crab in Asia and the reopening of fishing for red king crab in Alaska, October was a strong export month for Norwegian king crab", says Josefine Voraa, Manager for Shellfish with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>Exports of king crab to the US continue to grow following sanctions against Russian crab. In October, 153 tonnes with a value of NOK 88 million were exported, a record in both volume and value for a single month for king crab to the USA.</p> <p>This is an increase of NOK 50 million, or 134 per cent, compared to October last year.</p> <p>"The average price for frozen and live king crab is falling, so the increase in value is primarily driven by increased volumes and a weakened Norwegian krone", Voraa explains.</p> <p>The total increase in volume to the USA is 212 per cent. For frozen king crab, the volume has tripled compared to October last year.</p> <p><strong>Fall in exports of live king crab to Asia</strong></p> <p>"As there is now a lot of Russian king crab in the Asian markets, the export of live king crab to Asia is falling compared to the last few months. This is no surprise. Nevertheless, 41 tonnes of live king crab, worth NOK 13 million, were exported in October to Asia, with Vietnam and Hong Kong as the largest market", says Josefine Voraa.</p> <p>This is an increase of 277 per cent in volume to Asia compared to October last year, but here, the price fell by as much as 16 per cent, from NOK 393 per kg to NOK 330 per kg.</p> <p><strong>Heavy fall for snow crab</strong></p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Norway exported 34 tonnes of snow crab worth NOK 3 million in October.</li> <li>The value fell by NOK 30 million, or 90 per cent, compared to October last year.</li> <li>The volume fell by 85 per cent.</li> <li>Bulgaria, the USA and the Netherlands were the biggest markets for snow crab in October.</li> </ul> <p>Bulgaria had the largest increase in value this month, with an export value of NOK 2 million, compared to nothing last year.

The export volume to the Netherlands ended at 270 tonnes, which is 274 per cent higher than the same month last year", says Josefine Voraa, Manager for Shellfish with the Norwegian Seafood Council.</p> <p>Frozen boiled shell prawn is the product with the greatest increase in value compared to the same month last year, with an increase of NOK 14 million. NOK 24 million worth of frozen cooked shell prawn was exported in October. 142 tonnes of this ended up in Ukraine, which has been a major growth market for prawn in recent months.</p> <p><strong>Strong month for frozen peeled prawn to the UK</strong></p> <p>"The UK is the largest prawn market in October, and this month is the strongest for frozen peeled prawn so far this year. The value has increased by NOK 796,000, or 11 per cent, from a relatively strong October last year", says Voraa.</p> <p>Frozen peeled prawn are still the largest product by value.

6874  Meat Standards Australia celebrates 25 years with $259 million return to industry  Australia’s quality grading program for beef, Meat Standards Australia (MSA), has set a record for estimated farmgate returns for the Australian beef industry.  <p>The program was established by Meat &amp; Livestock Australia (MLA) in 1998 and delivered $259 million in estimated additional farm gate returns to MSA beef producers in 2022&ndash;23, a significant increase from the estimated high of $204 million in the previous year.<br /><br />This is according to the MSA Annual Outcomes Report for 2022-2023, which has just been released.<br /><br />According to MSA Program Manager, David Packer, this improvement is a direct result of the year-on-year growth of the program and the value captured and shared along the supply chain.<br /><br />"In this milestone year of 25 years of MSA, the program&rsquo;s value and benefits are reflected throughout the red meat supply chain from producers through to consumers", Dr Packer said.<br /><br />"The MSA system is based on over 1.7 million consumer taste tests by over 250,000 consumers from 13 countries and considers the factors that affect eating quality from the paddock-to-plate.<br /><br />"In the past year, more than 3.39 million cattle were presented for MSA grading through 39 Australian beef processors. This equates to 54% of all cattle slaughtered in Australia, which is an incredible effort, with 3.23 million cattle meeting the minimum MSA requirements".<br /><br />"Behind this excellent compliance rate are producers who continue to build on their MSA performance. In 2022&ndash;23, the average MSA Index that represents the eating quality of a carcase, for MSA compliant carcases was 57.52, an increase of 0.15 from the national average MSA Index of 57.37 in 2021&ndash;22, and an increase of 0.48 from 10 years ago".<br /><br />An additional 2,882 cattle and/or sheep producers became MSA registered in 2022&ndash;23, taking the total number of MSA producers to 49,688.<br /><br />Important to the success of the MSA program are its adoption strategies. In the past year, the MSA team delivered a range of training workshops and information sessions across the country, enabling more than 1,200 beef and sheepmeat producers to make on-farm changes towards improved outcomes.<br /><br />A key component of the MSA Strategic Plan 2020&ndash;25 is an increased focus on supporting business development activities with processors and brand owners, to expand awareness of MSA on the international stage.<br /><br />"This will increase confidence of brand owners to differentiate their product based on a world leading eating quality program", Dr Packer said.<br /><br />Key supply chain stakeholders also participated in MSA education and training, with over 700 industry service providers, processor representatives, advisors and livestock agents, attending events.<br /><br />MLA has been undertaking research with Australian independent butchers and wholesalers for over a decade to understand their perceptions of, and satisfaction with, MSA graded meat. Survey results for 2022&ndash;23 show 78% of butchers rated their satisfaction with MSA-graded meat as &lsquo;very good to excellent&rsquo;, up from 73% in 2021&ndash;22.<br /><br />More than 2.31 million sheep followed MSA pathways through 14 MSA-licensed processing facilities across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, which was 200,000 more than 2021&ndash;22.<br /><br />Of the total lambs processed in Australia, 71% were processed through MSA licensed processing plants that follow processes to improve eating quality.<br /><br />MSA carried out benchmarking activities with 10 sheepmeat supply chains, which comprise 68% of national lamb slaughter, to understand the range in eating quality of the commercial flock through these supply chains. This was done by utilising newly available technology to measure intramuscular fat, in sheepmeat coupled with lean meat yield measurements, to provide eating quality scores for nine cuts by cooking method (grill or roast) outcomes.<br /><br />According to Dr Packer, benchmarking highlights the value proposition of the MSA sheepmeat cuts-based model.<br /><br />"This will ultimately allow processors and brand owners to apply eating quality segregation within their supply chains", Dr Packer said.<br /><br />"As it moves towards commercialisation, the exciting prospects of the MSA sheepmeat cuts-based model is another way the MSA program continues to add value for the Australian red meat industry".<br /><br />"This is also an important driver towards the industry&rsquo;s goal of doubling the value of Australian red meat sales by 2030".</p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-12 00:10:57  2025-07-28 18:57:13  Details Edit Delete

6877  AHDB: GB cattle prices ease into November  Deadweight cattle prices have plateaued in October following increases throughout September, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). Prices peaked in mid-October and have eased into November with the all-prime average price currently stood at £476.6p/kg for the week ending 04 November. This was a 34p climb compared to the same period in 2022.  <p><span lang="DE">Irish cattle price movements have likely added downward pressure to those seen in GB. In the week beginning 23 October, the Irish R3 steer price averaged 398.7p/kg, sitting 89.7p below the GB R3 steer price. An increase in Irish slaughter rates has been anticipated for Q4, with population data suggesting a larger number of older prime cattle on-farm. With an increasing Irish kill rate noted through October, plus the current price differential, this is likely to have maintained the incentive to source Irish product.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Data indicates an increase in GB slaughter rates recently, with AHDB estimated prime cattle slaughter currently following an upward trend, with rates reaching the same level as record figures seen last year. Meanwhile, average carcase weights have remained lower in September at 340.3kg, down 0.4% (-1.5kg) year-on-year. Market reports have suggested increased occurrence of leaner cattle this year, potentially reflective of unsettled weather resulting in poorer grazing ability and variable silage quality. The increasing influence of dairy beef could also be contributing to lower weights on a longer-term basis.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">GB cow slaughter figures are following suit, also reaching the highest rates of slaughter seen so far this year as space is freed up in sheds as cattle move indoors for the winter. Cow prices have generally seen more pressure since the summer, deepening their discount to prime cattle. Market reports suggest ample supplies of manufacturing beef in Europe for current demand levels, following a lacklustre summer. Indeed, wholesale values for VL material have shown downward movement through this time.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">GB retail demand data</span><span lang="DE">&nbsp;shows in the 12 weeks to 1 October, household beef purchase levels have declined by 1.0% (in volume) compared to figures seen last year, with a rise in prices. Burgers and grills have driven most of the annual volume decline.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Elsewhere in the cattle trade,&nbsp;store prices&nbsp;remain at elevated levels, but have shown downward movement in recent weeks. Prices rallied through the summer as numbers were generally shorter year-on-year, while forage supplies and growth in finished values potentially aided confidence. Recently store values seem to have reached a ceiling and have moved downwards; more cattle have moved through store sales in recent weeks, with reports of variable quality due to poor weather.</span></p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-14 00:05:39  2025-07-28 08:47:38  Details Edit Delete
6878  New chairman for Danish Crown  At a board meeting in Danish Crown on last week, the previous deputy chairman, Asger Krogsgaard, was elected as the new chairman of Danish Crown AmbA. The board could no longer support Erik Bredholt, and he is therefore stepping down as chairman of both Danish Crown AmbA and Danish Crown A/S with immediate effect and has also chosen to resign from Danish Crown's boards and representative board.  <p style="font-weight: 400;">On the back of the debate in the media in recent days, it was clear that Erik Bredholt no longer had the board's support to head Danish Crown.&nbsp;He will be replaced in the post by Asger Krogsgaard, who for a number of years has been deputy chairman of the board of Danish Crown AmbA.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"For me and the rest of the board, it is important that we follow the course that has been set and get peace of mind about the company and for the work of finding the future management model for Danish Crown.&nbsp;We have an analysis underway of the shareholders' visions for and attitudes towards Danish Crown, and it is the idea that that analysis can form the basis for the review of Danish Crown's articles of association and principles for corporate governance, which a committee set up by the board of representatives is expected to have to go along", says Asger Krogsgaard.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Asger Krogsgaard is 56 years old and elected to Danish Crown's board of representatives in West Jutland.&nbsp;He runs a farm with both sows and fattening pigs near Ringk&oslash;bing and annually delivers around 70,000 fattening pigs to Danish Crown.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">He was elected to Danish Crown's board of representatives in the mid-90s and has been a member of the board of Danish Crown AmbA since 2003.&nbsp;Since 2011, he has been deputy chairman, and at the same time he has been part of the chairmanship of Landbrug &amp; F&oslash;deverar for a number of years.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"I have a solid knowledge of the company and long experience with organizational work, and although it has not been in the cards for me to be chairman of Danish Crown, I look forward to continuing the work we have together with the day-to-day management started to restore our company's ability to pay a competitive price for the owners' deliveries of slaughter animals", says Asger Krogsgaard.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Erik Bredholt is leaving Danish Crown after almost 12 years as chairman.&nbsp;Formally, he chose to withdraw himself because, as things stood, he saw no other solution.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"At the meeting, it was clear that the widespread position on the board was that Danish Crown is best served by a chairman other than me going forward.&nbsp;During my time in both Danish Crown's board of representatives and board of directors, it has always been central to me to make the right decisions for Danish Crown.&nbsp;But now the cooperation in the board had reached a dead end, and so it is right for Danish Crown that I resign with immediate effect", says Erik Bredholt.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Asger Krogsgaard has been elected chairman of Danish Crown AmbA and will initially be until the ordinary elections for Danish Crown's board of representatives and boards in December this year.&nbsp;He is also expected to be elected chairman of Danish Crown A/S at the next meeting and will take up a number of positions of trust in his capacity as chairman of Danish Crown.</p>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-14 00:10:11  2025-07-28 08:46:29  Details Edit Delete
6879  USMEF: September pork exports fairly steady  September exports of U.S. pork were down slightly from a year ago but maintained a robust pace, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).  <p>Pork exports totaled 221,140 metric tons (mt) in September, down less than 1% from a year ago, while export value fell 4% to $643.7 million. For the first three quarters of 2023, pork exports increased 9% year-over-year to 2.13 million mt and climbed 7% in value to just under $6 billion.&nbsp;</p> <p>"Pork exports achieving another $200 million month in Mexico is fantastic,&rdquo; said USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom, &ldquo;But the good news doesn&rsquo;t end there, as growth in regions such as Central America, the Caribbean and Oceania helped offset lower shipments to China and Japan".&nbsp;</p> <p>September pork shipments to Mexico remained well ahead of last year&rsquo;s record pace, increasing 17% to 89,042 mt. Export value increased 18% to $207.6 million, the third highest month on record. Through the first three quarters of 2023, exports to Mexico climbed 13% from a year ago to 794,354 mt, valued at $1.68 billion. This included excellent growth in pork variety exports, which surged 31% in volume (117,945 mt) and 40% in value ($220.4 million).</p> <p>Led by robust growth in leading markets Honduras and Guatemala, September pork exports to Central America increased 34% year-over-year in both volume (9,507 mt) and value ($29.6 million). Through September, exports to the region increased 9% to 89,061 mt, while value jumped 15% to $258.8 million. In addition to Honduras and Guatemala, shipments trended higher to El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pork exports to the Dominican Republic are on a record pace in 2023, with September shipments increasing 3% from a year ago to 5,785 mt and value up slightly to $17.4 million. Through the first three quarters of the year, exports to the DR climbed 23% in volume (72,518 mt) and 29% in value ($198.7 million). In addition to the DR&rsquo;s strong demand for muscle cuts, pork variety meat shipments surged 95% to 3,143 mt, valued at $5.9 million (up 148%).&nbsp;</p> <p>Other January-September results for U.S. pork exports include:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Demand for U.S. pork has rebounded impressively in Oceania, where exports through September increased 80% from a year ago to 57,615 mt, as U.S. pork continues to retake market share from the European Union. Export value climbed 64% to $202 million. Due to market access restrictions, most U.S. exports to the region are raw material for further processing, but value-added processed products from the U.S. have also gained popularity in both Australia and New Zealand.&nbsp;</li> <li>While September exports to the ASEAN region were below last year, shipments through the first three quarters of the year were still 30% above last year at 52,471 mt, with value up 7% to $124.4 million. The Philippines was the top destination (42,357 mt, up 22%), with Malaysia surging into the #2 spot at 3,935 mt &ndash; up more than 1,500% from a year ago. Exports also trended higher to Vietnam (3,714 mt, up 43%) and Indonesia (581 mt, &nbsp;up 38%).&nbsp;</li> <li>Pork exports to Taiwan continued to trend higher in September, climbing 184% from a year ago to 736 mt. Export value doubled to $2.1 million. Through September, exports climbed nearly 400% to 14,775 mt, with value increasing almost 500% to $47.5 million. U.S. pork recently suffered a setback, however, due to incidents of mislabeling that led to heightened inspections of imported pork. While no food safety issues were involved, the findings generated unwelcome negative publicity for U.S. pork that will likely dampen fourth-quarter demand.&nbsp;</li> <li>Pork variety meat exports performed well in September, despite significantly lower shipments to leading destination China. September exports reached 46,044 mt, down only slightly from a year ago, while export value increased 3% to $108.7 million. January-September variety meat exports established a record pace at 438,190 mt, up 15% from a year ago, while export value increased 13% to $1.03 billion. In addition to the above-mentioned growth in Mexico and the DR, exports also trended higher to the ASEAN region, Canada, Chile, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Taiwan.&nbsp;</li> <li>September pork export value equated to $61.94 per head slaughtered, down 1% from a year ago, while the January-September average was up 5% to $63.16. Export value per head is on a record pace and share of production exported is at the record levels seen in 2020-21. Exports accounted for 28.1% of total September pork production and 24% for muscle cuts only, up from 27.4% and 23.2%, respectively, a year ago. The January-September ratios were 29.4% of total production (up from 27.1%) and 25.2% for muscle cuts (up from 23.5%).</li> </ul>  1    Market adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro 2023-11-14 00:15:00  2025-07-28 01:34:56  Details Edit Delete
