6513 | Argentine has reached its 29,500 tons per year quota for EU and UK | The Ministry of Agriculture celebrated that the quota of 29,500 tons per year destined for the European Union and the United Kingdom was reached. The bad news is that less currency entered, as a result of a fall in prices. | <p>The Hilton Quota 2022/23 closed with 100% compliance, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, with sales of 29,500 tons that generated a foreign exchange income of US$ 310 million. </p> <p>The agricultural portfolio highlighted that this is the highest compliance in the last five years. In the case of the previous cycle, there was a remnant of 1,288 tons that could not be marketed. </p> <p>According to the survey carried out by the Undersecretary of Agricultural Markets, less than two weeks after the end of the 2022/2023 commercial cycle, Argentine exported 29,389 tons to the European market, which added to the additional 111 destined for the United Kingdom, total 29,500. tons of the aforementioned quota.</p> <p>The average value of the high-quality boneless cuts that make up the fee ranged from US$10,000 to US$13,500, depending on the composition of the cuts. The main destinations were Germany and the Netherlands, followed by Italy and Spain.</p> <p>The peak in Hilton prices was recorded at the beginning of the cycle, just above US$14,000 per ton.</p> <p>The sales of the 2022/223 quota were as follows:</p> <p>* Germany: 15,770.6 tons for US$ 168.8 million</p> <p>* The Netherlands: 9,067 tons for US$ 93.9 million</p> <p>* Italy: 3,173 tons for US$ 33.7 million</p> <p>* Spain: 829.1 tons for US$ 8.3 million dollars.</p> <p>* The rest of the assigned tonnage is divided between Portugal, Greece, France, Austria, Poland, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.</p> <p>One piece of information that emerges when analyzing the numbers for the 2022/2023 cycle is that the quota did not escape the fluctuations in international prices suffered by the foreign trade of beef, which, although it maintains its dispatch volumes, has not managed to rebound in billing.</p> <p>In the previous period, and with 1,288 tons that were not exported, the billing reached US$ 347 million, according to official data.</p> <p>With a tariff preference of 20%, Argentine markets 44% of the global quota granted by the European Union, while the other beneficiary countries are the United States and Canada (17%), Brazil (15%), Australia (11%), Uruguay (10%), New Zealand (2%) and Paraguay (1%).</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-06-19 00:10:27 | 2025-07-29 17:52:38 | Details Edit Delete | |

2524 | AHDB promotion campaign increased sales of thin cut beef stakes | <p>The humorous campaign, aimed at couples aged 25 to 44 years old, promotes thin cut steaks as a quick, easy and versatile midweek meal.</p> <p>Thin cut steaks were specifically chosen as they provided an industry solution to a carcase balance issue, as they utilise cuts that are in surplus during the summer months.</p> <p>Recipes and images featuring saucy slogans such as “Fancy a midweek quickie?” were rolled out across national newspapers, billboards near to supermarkets and social media over an 11-week period from late May last year.</p> <p>Retailers including Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, The Co-op and Aldi supported the campaign with on-pack stickers, tear off recipes in chillers, adverts in their in-store magazines and recipe booklets at butchery counters, alongside digital activity.</p> <p>Further analysis in Kantar Worldpanel’s Consumer Mix Model picked out that 62 per cent of UK households were reached by the campaign, an average of nine times each. Consumer research conducted by Future Thinking also reported a ten per cent rise in claimed mid-week consumption of thin cut steaks.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2019-02-02 06:54:35 | 2025-07-27 13:04:53 | Details Edit Delete | |||
2176 | Meat taxation is wrong, says Australian nutritionist | "We need to stop blaming the steak for all the mashed potato and bread buns eaten with it", explains Anthony Power. | <p>The idea of meat taxation is not new and now is coming back front in the UK, where Oxford University researchers say a meat tax could prevent as many as 6000 deaths in the UK a year.<br />Nevertheless, the scientists are referring to meals that include meat but don't really consider the role played by other ingredients, explains an Australian nutritionist. Anthony Power believes that targeting the meat industry from a health perspective is wrong, reports Blue Mountains Gazette. "Eating more meat - and eggs, fish and chicken - without all the extraneous carbohydrates will actually see a reduction in weight and obesity and a reduction in diabetes. Animal protein is so nutrient dense in terms of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids and for many patients it is the one thing in their diet that is positive and keeping them healthy. The fact is 70 per cent of a burger meal is the bun, the sugar, the beer but meat is taking the blame. We need to stop blaming the steak for all the mashed potato and bread buns eaten with it", he said.<br />Australia's Red Meat Advisory Council head Don Mackay is also considering the need to respond to such allegation and make certain the correct facts were laid on the table, as long as opposition to animal protein production proved to be always emotive and often very thin on facts.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-11-12 04:38:22 | 2025-07-30 12:08:27 | Details Edit Delete | ||

3884 | ASF remains the key driver of meat import demand in China | <p>The impact of ASF on China’s pig industry continues to be severe, with sporadic outbreaks continuing to be reported. It remains the key driver of the country’s domestic protein production and protein import demand. Estimates put the impact of ASF as equivalent to having destroyed some 40% of China’s pig herd, with industry recovery likely to take several years, according to a recent report of Meat & Livestock Australia.</p> <p>The significant protein shortage caused by ASF has added price pressures not only to pork, but to other meat proteins as well. Many protein prices reached new heights toward the end of 2019, but have since eased in response to a number of interventions.</p> <p>In addition to granting more market access to a number of countries, China has also lowered tariff rates on some items for various countries, such as the tariff on frozen pork being reduced from 12% to 8% from 1 January 2020. Aside from facilitating increased import volumes, China has also utilised its state meat reserves in order to ease prices by increasing market supply. In 2020 up to mid-May, 19 releases of pork have been made available to the market totalling approximately 350,000 tonnes, as well as two releases of beef and sheepmeat totalling approximately 7,000 tonnes.</p> <p>In order to restore the pork industry as soon as possible, the Chinese government has recently announced enhanced actions to be taken to address ASF prevention and control, including more regular inspections and testing, the implementation of risk alert systems and stricter pig transportation and slaughter protocols.</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2020-06-05 11:59:06 | 2025-07-30 06:12:34 | Details Edit Delete | ||
2659 | British consumers are worried about the food quality | A recent survey shows that half of the respondents are considering that sheep and beef farming in Wales had higher environmental standards than the global norm. | <p>The impact of Brexit on food quality is one of the hot topics in Britain nowadays, and the consumers are concerned that food which is farmed to lower standards than home-produced fare might be imported after 29 March.<br />A survey conducted BMG Research on behalf of red meat levy board, Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) shows that Over half of UK consumers are worried about the food quality in a post-Brexit era.<br />53% of respondents to the poll, which consisted of a representative sample of 1508 UK adults, said that they were somewhat or very concerned about the impact of Brexit on the quality of the food they eat, whereas only 8% were not at all concerned.</p> <p>The research also showed that consumers appreciate the high standards to which food is produced in Britain. A similar 53% of the sample thought that sheep and beef farming in Wales had higher environmental standards than the global norm, with only 7% thinking it was lower. The majority point of view is that the Welsh meat is better than the one produced in New Zealand, Australia, the USA and South America.<br />"This poll gives us a great insight into consumer perceptions on sheep and beef farming in Wales in the domestic UK market which could be so important after Brexit. It goes to show that the British public really is concerned about the food they eat and that quality is high on the agenda. The landscape and climatic conditions of Wales means it is one of the world’s most sustainable places to produce red meat. 80% of Wales’ landmass is primarily suited for livestock farming, and producers work tirelessly to maintain the landscape,", declared HCC’s Chief Executive Gwyn Howells. 79% of the respondents were aware that the cows and sheep reared in Wales are grass-fed.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-03-05 04:35:26 | 2025-07-30 10:08:08 | Details Edit Delete | ||
3678 | NPPC worries about the COVID-19 disruptive impact on farms | The specter of market-ready hogs with nowhere to go is a nightmare for every pork producer, said NPPC President Howard Roth. | <p>The impact of coronavirus outbreak in the US labor force market is a major concern for the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC), who urged the US government officials to come out with a solution for any disruption created in the supply chain. In a letter to the president and other administration officials, members of Congress, and state governors, NPPC called for expedited solutions addressing the need for more workers on hog farms and in pork plants. It also called on federal, state and local governments to work together to develop a response to COVID-19 that protects public health and, whenever possible, supports animal care and minimizes disruptions to the U.S. pork production supply chain and consumers. NPPC also called on the administration to develop support plans for hog farmers if labor-related bottlenecks in the supply chain prevent hogs from being marketed.<br />"School closures preventing parents from going to work and caring for their animals are already a concern in farm and plant communities. The specter of market-ready hogs with nowhere to go is a nightmare for every pork producer in the nation. It would result in severe economic fallout in rural communities and a major animal welfare challenge," said NPPC President Howard Roth.<br />Currently, the US pork industry relies on foreign labor and needs a stable workforce. Even without the additional challenge presented by COVID-19, the labor shortage threatens to increase production costs and food prices for consumers. Existing visa programs are designed for seasonal agriculture, and reform is needed to address the animal care and other requirements of year-round livestock agriculture, considers the Council.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-03-11 08:31:42 | 2025-07-30 12:26:04 | Details Edit Delete | ||
3606 | Pig prices in the EU are falling due to coronavirus impact | <p>The impact of the Chinese New Year holiday and the coronavirus outbreak in China have impacted the EU pig prices at the beginning of this month. The average price in the single market has lost €10 to average €182.54/100kg. The Netherlands has seen the biggest drop in price (-€19.89), followed by France (-€17.00), Belgium (-€13.00), Germany (-€11.65), and Poland (-€10.66).<br />"Logistical difficulties, including temporary restrictions imposed on transporting meat between provinces, have reportedly delayed the delivery of imports. In the short-term, China's demand for imports could be negatively affected. Industry reports suggest pork demand, particularly out of the home, could be reduced. This may affect EU pig prices for some weeks," believes Duncan Wyatt, Lead Analyst at AHDB.<br />However, demand for pork in the Chinese market is expected to remain strong for the rest of the year as the decline in China's national pig inventory will accelerate due to the impact that coronavirus suppose to have on restocking efforts. Meantime, in China, pork prices have increased, with average quotation jumping from 48.25 CNY ($6.91) to 51.46 CNY ($7.37). The highest price was reported in the province of Sichuan, 57.45 CNY ($8.22), whilst the lowest was in Tianjin 47.48 CNY ($6.80), a variation that can be explained by the temporary restrictions on transporting meat between the provinces.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-02-14 03:02:18 | 2025-07-29 12:37:46 | Details Edit Delete | |||
4024 | "Adjusting to supply shocks takes time" - USMEF | June exports of US pork fell below year-ago levels for the first time this year but exports remain on a record pace in 2020, while beef suffered most. | <p>The impact of the coronavirus crisis in the US red meat industry is still visible and the beef sector has taken a hard hit in May and June, according to US Meat Export Federation. Beef exports were down sharply from a year ago in June, reflecting a lingering impact of a temporary slowdown in beef production combined with restrictions on foodservice and weakening economies in major import markets. At the same time, June exports of US pork fell below year-ago levels for the first time this year but exports remain on a record pace in 2020.<br />"We expected that the interruptions in red meat production would continue to weigh on June exports, but anticipated more of a rebound from the low May totals – particularly for beef. But it takes time for the entire chain to adjust to supply shocks, and thus it was another difficult month for exports. However, weekly US export data suggest an upward trend in demand in most markets, and with production recovering the US has regained its supply advantage. So we expect beef and pork exports to regain momentum in the second half of the year", said USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom. <br />June pork exports totalled 207,181 tonnes, down 3% from a year ago, while export value fell 9% to $516.3 million. Exports continued to trend higher than a year ago to China and Hong Kong but were the lowest since October. Exports also increased year-over-year to the ASEAN region, the Caribbean, Honduras and Taiwan and were sharply higher for Albania and Ukraine. But shipments trended lower to Mexico, Japan, South Korea and South America. Despite the June decline, first-half pork exports were still 24% ahead of last year’s record pace in volume (1.55 million tonnes) and 29% higher in value ($4.05 billion).<br />Exports accounted for 24% of total pork production in June and 22.2% of muscle cut production, down substantially from a year ago (27.8% and 24%, respectively). For the first half of the year, exports accounted for 31.5% of total pork production and 28.6% for muscle cuts, up from 25.8% and 22.4%, respectively, last year. Export value per head slaughtered averaged $46.19 in June, down 19% from a year ago and down sharply from the high levels achieved in April and May. The January-June average was $63.61 per head, up 27% from a year ago.</p> <p>June beef exports were close to the May lows, down 33% from a year ago to 79,013 tonnes, with value falling 32% to $492.3 million. Exports were below year-ago levels to most markets but trended higher to Canada, China and South Africa. For January through June, beef exports fell 9% below last year’s pace in volume (591,609 tonnes) and 10% lower in value ($3.63 billion). <br />Exports accounted for 9.7% of total beef production in June and 8% for muscle cuts, down sharply from a year ago (15.4% and 12.7%, respectively) and the lowest in 10 years. First-half exports accounted for 13.3% of total beef production and 10.9% for muscle cuts, down from 14.2% and 11.6%, respectively, last year. Beef export value per head of fed slaughter averaged $219.53 in June, down 32% year-over-year. The first-half average was $300.43 per head, down 4%.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-08-12 08:16:03 | 2025-07-30 12:08:50 | Details Edit Delete | ||
3727 | Canned meat sales explode in Europe | Denmark has seen sales in canned meat increasing by 1000% and expects the demand to remain stable. | <p>The impact of the coronavirus outbreak in the markets across the globe is making an impact on demand and sales of canned meat in Europe. "There is generally greater demand across all markets, but especially European markets are now demanding canned products beyond the usual. In the United States, they have also begun to understand the situation. There we could feel a greater level of unrest among customers last week, where they experienced increased sales in the stores," explained Mikael Horsboll, Director of Marketing and Innovation International at Danish Crown Foods.<br />Extra production days have been added for the workers at Danish Crown Foods' plant in Vejle to respond to increased demand that is making the sales volume jump by 1000% in the last week.<br />"We notice that several countries are concerned about their future deliveries. So in a time when everyone lacks goods and the logistics are challenged on both road, sea and air, we are seeing increasing demand as many customers want their deliveries advanced if possible," added Mr. Horsboll.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-03-24 06:55:47 | 2025-07-30 13:42:27 | Details Edit Delete | ||
3989 | Germans are switching to veg diets | Almost a third of households in the country are choosing to reduce meat consumption due to COVID-19 concerns. | <p>The impact of the outbreaks in some of the largest meat processing plants in Germany is accelerating the veganism trend in the country, reported Green Queen magazine. Almost a third of households in the country are choosing to reduce meat consumption due to COVID-19 concerns, says a study released by GfK. Several thousand workers in different meat processing plants in the country have been tested positive for COVID-19, with Tonnies leading the group, with more than 1,500 cases reported in June in its largest meat processing plant.<br />Within the last 5 years, the number of Germans declared vegetarians have doubled but now the trend is becoming larger. "We see a trend away from very cheap meat and towards higher quality and substitute products. It is not only about animal welfare, but it is also about human welfare, and that will become entrenched in people’s minds," declared Robert Kecskes, an analyst at GfK. <br />However, the veg trend seems to gain a larger market share in some other countries too. Recent polls from the U.S. to the U.K. and Hong Kong have all reported that shoppers are now seeking to reduce meat consumption dramatically as a result of the pandemic, while analysts in South Korea say that the numbers of flexitarians in the country could now be as high as 10 million, representing almost 20% of its total population. Overall, the United Nations FAO estimates that this global pattern will trigger the biggest drop in meat intake seen in decades.</p> | 1 | Market | 2020-07-27 12:56:04 | 2025-07-30 01:01:33 | Details Edit Delete | ||
4333 | 3,300 employees will be given permanent employment at Vion | Ahead of the German Parliament passing the new Occupational Health and Safety Act for the meat industry (Arbeitsschutzkontrollgesetz), Vion is implementing the planned new regulations. Within a month and at all 16 German locations, 3,300 employees from contracting companies will be given permanent employment at Vion starting on 1 January 2021. | <p>The implementation of this integration of staff, the largest of its kind, already began on 1 December 2020 in Landshut. "In the key areas of slaughtering, deboning and packaging, we have provided permanent employment for approx. 180 employees permanent employment here, and now directly employ 400 people at our plant in Lower Bavaria," says HR Director Roger Legath.</p> <p>At all Vion locations, the employee base has once more grown significantly. This increases the company’s challenges. Legath explains: "Vion looks forward to welcoming the new employees. We have developed an extensive welcome package and are assisting our new employees in their integration journeys through language courses and accommodation hunting. We strive for the complete integration of the people at work and at home."</p> <p>90 percent of the incoming colleagues at Vion, mainly from Eastern European EU member states, welcome the new regulations. They now enjoy greater job security and have their interests represented through the local works council. "These are just a few of the innovations; employees in Germany have been covered by state social security since 2015," says Roger Legath. In the future, there will be an intensive collaboration with the German permanent workforce. This concerns all areas of production.</p> <p>The integration of new employees is a great challenge that the company is handling with great commitment. At all its German sites, Vion wants to provide the new employees with a sense of a new home not just at work, but in their private lives as well. Integration is the most important project and runs concurrently - initially with language courses and everyday assistance. The priority in doing so is securing decent housing. In Landshut, this has been accomplished for employees and their families.</p> <p>From 1 January 2021, Vion will employ 6.000 employees on its own across 16 locations in Germany.</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2020-12-09 07:20:50 | 2025-07-29 20:11:21 | Details Edit Delete | |
4701 | Global meat sector to engage in UN Food Systems Summit | The global meat sector will be holding a Food Systems Dialogue on Tuesday 25 May to inform the first-ever United Nations Food Systems Summit which will take place in New York in September. | <p>The inaugural Food Systems Summit is drawing on the input of global experts to identify sustainable solutions for the future of food, announced the Global Meat Alliance in a press release. Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), alongside the Global Meat Alliance and in partnership with the International Meat Secretariat, are co-convening a Dialogue to ensure the role meat protein plays in healthy, sustainable food systems is heard.<br />MLA Managing Director, Jason Strong, said the dialogue is an opportunity for the global meat sector to participate in the Food Systems Summit and work collaboratively on solutions that will benefit food producers and consumers.<br />"There are a number of significant meetings being held at an intergovernmental level during 2021 such as the Food Systems Summit and COP26. It's so important for our industry to collectively engage at a pre-competitive level to ensure our work is represented and to further drive innovation and improvement for the sustainability of our sector. This is why Meat & Livestock Australia are proud to convene this dialogue and encourage others, globally, to take part," Mr Strong said.</p> <p>The primary topics of discussion will be introduced by five leading experts in the respective areas:</p> <p>Max Makuvise, Zimbabwe: Food security: What is the role of protein in feeding the growing world's population?<br /> Diana Rodgers, USA: What is the role of meat in the diet and what are the implications of going without?<br /> Dr Frank Mitloehner, USA: How can we sustainably manage existing food production systems to the benefit of both nature and people?<br /> Dr John Gilliland, Ireland: What is the role of the global meat sector in future-proofing our food systems and protecting against shocks and stresses?<br /> Dr Frédéric Leroy, Belgium: How do we maintain a balanced debate and inclusive narrative?<br />From here, participants including producers, industry bodies, government, NGOs, global processors, butchers and retailers, will "breakout" to discuss the topics in more depth.<br />The dialogue will identify the current progress of work and new 'Game-Changing Solutions' to share with the organizers of the UN Food Systems Summit following the event. The information will be used by organizers to inform the Summit's five priority Action Tracks, as well as the preparatory work of its Scientific and Advisory Groups, Champions Network, and other Summit support structures.</p> | 1 | Events | 2021-05-21 06:48:43 | 2025-07-30 00:37:20 | Details Edit Delete | ||

4276 | Saudi Arabia to consume more poultry in the next 5 years | The country's poultry market is expected to witness a CAGR of 3.47% until the end of 2025. | <p>The increase in the demand for animal protein, along with the increasing preference for low-fat and high-protein diet among the consumers, led to a remarkable increase in the consumption of poultry meat and eggs in Saudi Arabia. As modern trade channels continue to expand, the demand for chilled and frozen poultry meat is expected to increase rapidly during the forecast period, says the latest report issued by Reportlinker.com - "Saudi Arabian Poultry Market - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)".</p> <p><strong>Brazil has the lion share in this market</strong></p> <p>As per the data cited by USDA and ITC Trade Map, in 2019, Saudi Arabia was the fifth-largest importer of broiler meat across the world. Notably, majority of the imports of poultry products in the country were accounted by Brazil, capturing a share of more than 70% of the total imports, followed by France, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia has a magnanimous demand for poultry meat, and it has been dependent on imports from other countries to satiate its demand. Thus, the country has been indulging in several trade deals with major meat-producing countries over the years. It has been establishing new bonds to meet the consumer demands for high-quality meat in the country, which complies with the local slaughtering regulations. Furthermore, the Saudi government’s Vision 2030 includes a target of 30 million religious tourists by 2030, in order to boost its hospitality and retail sector. Additionally, a report from Al-Jazira Capital quoted that the Saudi government has been preparing for the expected demand by investing heavily in infrastructure projects, which may boost the imports of meats and foods in the coming years.</p> <p><strong>Rising Demand of Eggs Sector</strong></p> <p>While most poultry meat consumption in Saudi Arabia is in the form of a whole chicken, demand for chicken parts has soared in the past several years due to the expansion of the food catering industry in the country. Furthermore, every year, the Hajj pilgrimage attracts millions of people, particularly due to which is expected to foster the catering service in the country. Some of the prominent companies operating in the catering services in Saudi Arabia are the YCI Group, Herman Food` and Feed Company, Zoom Catering, and Elite Food Catering Company, among others. Additionally, catering companies operating in the country provide three meals a day to employees who stay at labor camps and serve the steadily recovering construction industry. Therefore, this factor is expected to increase the poultry consumption in the country further since poultry meat is prominently added to the diets of these Saudi Arabic people. Furthermore, one of the incentives that the Saudi poultry sector receives from the Saudi government is a stipulation in catering contracts that companies that serve foods to government institutions should use more than 70% local content. Therefore, considering this fact, several Saudi catering companies contacted for this report indicate that they use 100% local chicken meat when catering to government institutions, such as the military, hospitals, and universities.</p> <p><strong>Competitive Landscape</strong></p> <p>The Saudi Arabia poultry market is fragmented and competitive in nature having a large number of domestic and multinational players competing for market share. Emphasis is given on the merger, expansion, acquisition, and partnership of the companies along with new product development as strategic approaches adopted by the leading companies to boost their brand presence among consumers. Key players dominating the market include Al-Watania, Fakieh Poultry Farms, Almarai, and Al-Berri United Food Co. Ltd, among others.</p> | 1 | Market | 2020-11-20 12:36:28 | 2025-07-30 13:38:47 | Details Edit Delete | ||
8383 | FAO Meat Price Index in March | The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 118.0 points in March, up 1.0 point (0.9 percent) from the revised February value and 3.1 points (2.7 percent) from its year-earlier level. | <p>The increase was primarily driven by higher pig meat prices, mainly due to rising quotations in the European Union after Germany regained foot-and-mouth-disease-free status, prompting key trading partners, such as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to lift import bans. Rising demand contributed to stabilizing the market, while the strengthening of the euro against the United States dollar supported the upward trend. Ovine meat prices also increased, supported by strong global demand ahead of the Easter holidays. Similarly, world bovine meat quotations rose, reflecting tight global supplies and robust international demand. Meanwhile, poultry meat prices remained largely stable, as global supply and demand remained balanced despite the continued challenges posed by widespread avian influenza outbreaks in some major producing countries.</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-04-11 00:20:00 | 2025-07-30 11:54:44 | Details Edit Delete |
