| 6821 | AHDB analysis: September beef and lamb production in UK | Beef production levels for September 2023 sat at 70,700 tonnes, according to the most recent Defra production statistics. This is a decrease of 3,000 tonnes (-4%), compared to August. Furthermore, production levels when compared to those seen in September 2022, have declined by 2%. | <p><span lang="DE">Prime cattle slaughter levels for September 2023 totalled 161,200 head, compared to 167,500 in August 2023, a fall of 4%. Additionally, September’s prime cattle slaughterings sat below the 5-year average by 3,800 head, as well as September 2022 by 1,500 head (-1%). As Christmas procurement gathers pace, we would expect to see an increase in seasonal slaughter levels in the final quarter.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Cow slaughter for September 2023 (48,100) was also down by 5% compared to September 2022 (50,800). It has also declined by 1,500 head (-3%) against the previous month.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Prime cattle carcase weights have been lighter throughout 2023 and this trend has continued into September. Average prime cattle carcase weights for September sat at 340kg/head, a small drop of 0.4% (-1.5kg) compared to September 2022, contributing to the decline in production. Additionally, when compared with the 5-year average for September (342.4kg/head) weights have declined by 2.1kg. Supporting this data, market reports suggest that while forage production has improved this year, variable quality has contributed to increased instances of cattle coming forwards for slaughter slightly under-finished.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Cow carcase weights have remained relatively stable, at an average of 298.3kg/head in September, a decrease of 0.3kg compared to the 5-year average and a 0.1kg decrease compared to August 2023.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">UK sheep meat production in September 2023 totalled 22,700 tonnes according to Defra. This is a decline of 4% from August, where production totalled 24,400 tonnes. Production levels for lamb and mutton were also down by 7% compared to September 2022 (23,700t). September 2023 also sat below the 5-year average by 12%.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Carcase weights have had little impact on production figures for September 2023, at an average of 19.6kg/head, the same weight as August and a mere 0.1kg/head below the September 2022 average.</span></p> <p>Declining production rates have been driven by the decrease in slaughterings. UK clean sheep slaughterings fell from the previous month, down by 4% from 1,037,000 to 994,000 head. September 2023 rates also sat below the slaughter figure for September 2022 by 4%. Adult sheep slaughter rates have also declined by 4% since August 2022, from 151,900 to 145,500 head.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-24 00:05:55 | 2025-08-01 12:57:45 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6822 | JBS study reveals tannin cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 17% in livestock farming | JBS and Silvateam, a global leader in producing plant extracts for animal feed, have recently unveiled the results of a study demonstrating the effectiveness of tannin in curbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the beef industry. | <p><span lang="DE">This research, conducted by the São Paulo Institute of Zootechny (IZ), concluded that utilizing a feed additive called SilvaFeed BX®, containing a blend of tannins and saponins, can reduce enteric methane emissions by as much as 17% for feedlot beef cattle. Moreover, the study's measurement methodology will enable JBS and other industry players to track emission reductions on their GHG accounting in the future.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"JBS has been a key supporter in developing various studies on food additives, including the use of tannins in feed for cattle in feedlots. This technology isn't just of interest to our company; it's a matter of significance for the entire livestock sector. By making these solutions accessible throughout the production chain, we are actively contributing to the promotion of low-carbon livestock farming in Brazil," explains Fabio Dias, Director of Livestock at Friboi and leader of Regenerative Agriculture at JBS Brazil.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The research was conducted by experts from IZ's recently established Science Center for Advancing Climate Neutrality in Beef Cattle Raising. They closely monitored the cattle at JBS's feedlot in Guaiçara (SP) for approximately six months. When applying the study's results retroactively between 2019 and 2022, it's evident that the use of the tannin and saponin mixture in their diet prevented the emission of more than 30,200 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) equivalent in JBS feedlot cattle. To put this in perspective, it's like taking around 24,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road or planting over 2,000 trees during that timeframe.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">One of the main advantages of the tannin mixture compared to other feed additives is its widespread use in Brazilian livestock farming. This product not only contributes to weight gain and the development of cattle carcasses but also results in reduced feed costs, improved feed conversion, and enhanced protein efficiency. Over time, experts and researchers have been exploring the hypothesis that tannin, by improving cattle's intestinal health, would effectively reduce enteric emissions. The study confirmed this hypothesis.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Silvateam reports that since 2016, more than 5 million head of cattle in Brazilian feedlots have been benefiting from the tannin produced by the company. This has prevented the emission of 11,900 tons of methane or 334,766 tons of CO₂ equivalent, corresponding to the planting of 22,600 trees or the removal of 265,600 gasoline-powered cars from circulation.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Cattle have often been associated with a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions. However, through our studies, evidence, and practical application of tannins in animal nutrition, we have demonstrated that a substantial reduction in methane emissions is possible. This shows that livestock farming actively contributes to achieving climate neutrality," states Marcelo Manella, director of Silvateam.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Tannins are natural chemical compounds found in various parts of plants, including fruit, leaves, seeds, and bark. Silvafeed BX, an additive used in JBS feedlots, is based on tannins extracted from quebracho trees, chestnut trees, and saponins. When introduced into cattle feed, these tannins effectively regulate and modify rumen fermentation. This leads to a reduction in enteric methane emissions, improved rumen metabolism, and, consequently, optimized animal performance.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The research conducted in partnership with JBS and Silvateam not only benefits the participating companies but also the entire Brazilian livestock industry. It provides scientific evidence that the use of feed additives, such as tannins, effectively reduces the carbon footprint of livestock farming, leading to more sustainable operations," explained Renata Helena Branco Arnandes, the researcher responsible for the study.</span></p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-24 00:10:05 | 2025-08-01 13:29:12 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6823 | After Anuga, ABPA exporters project US$ 1.8 billion in exports | The action organized by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), in partnership with the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), during Anuga, the largest food fair, ended successfully in the world, held between October 7th and 11th, in Cologne, Germany. | <p><span lang="DE">In just five days of the event, the 22 agribusinesses participating in the action in the ABPA space completed deals that exceeded US$570 million in exports to markets on the five continents, which were present at the event.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Based on the negotiations carried out at the event with more than 2 thousand business meetings held at the fair, the companies participating in the action project exports that are expected to exceed US$ 1.8 billion in the next 12 months, covering the poultry, pork and egg sectors.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The event's big numbers are not limited to results in exports. The action was also marked by the strengthening of international image actions of the Brazilian productive sector. It was the moment for the launch of the international campaign “Good Food – Sustainable Protein”, the second phase of the campaign started in 2021 that highlights the attributes that differentiate the sustainability of poultry and pig farming in Brazil. The launch was attended by several authorities – including the Minister of Agriculture, Carlos Fávaro, and the president of ApexBrasil, Jorge Viana.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The action marks a new strategic front of sectoral action, this time, marked by the presentation of sustainability cases from companies producing and exporting poultry and pig farming in Brazil – which will be available on the websites www.proteinasustentavel.<a href="http://com.br/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://com.br&source=gmail&ust=1698133165924000&usg=AOvVaw0Tdu26Af_B_fywnind_ciD">com.br</a><wbr /> (Portuguese version) and www. <wbr />brazilianssustainableprotein. <wbr />com (in English). Actions will also be carried out on social networks, in addition to the dissemination of a campaign video.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The flavor and quality of the products were also highlighted in the ABPA gastronomic area at the event, under the command of chef Marcelo Bortolon. More than 1,400 chicken dishes were served in the association's tasting area. For the first time, tastings of duck meat and cracklings were also held, which were added to the traditional omelettes, distributed to importers and potential customers in the sector. All this, also counting on the distribution of materials with information about the sector's exporting industries and the characteristics of Brazilian production, which is based on three pillars: quality, health status and sustainability.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">“It was a broad, complex action with results that speak for themselves. Participation in Anuga is one of the most important on our calendar, and the success of the image and business actions shows that we achieved all our objectives”, says the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-24 00:15:15 | 2025-08-01 07:13:11 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 6825 | Development of US beef burger in Africa | USMEF is developing downstream demand in South Africa’s foodservice sector, thanks to sampling programs at The Meating Room, USMEF’s primary venue for demonstrating U.S. red meat products to potential customers in South Africa. | <p>Sampling programs for U.S. beef, used predominantly in South Africa but also other African countries, focus on developing foodservice demand for affordable, highly marbled but ungraded U.S. beef cuts. Prime and Choice U.S. beef cuts are also featured. </p> <p>"Through the sampling program, we have also introduced beef variety meat cuts and beef trim items that have not been promoted in the past. This led to the development of a burger for quick-service restaurants with a high U.S. beef content. The U.S. burger is rolling out at a gourmet franchise chain across South Africa and consumer feedback has been tremendous", says USMEF Africa Representative Matt Copeland.</p> <p>Funding support for U.S. beef sampling programs was provided by the Beef Checkoff Program, Iowa Beef Council, Oklahoma Beef Council and USDA’s Market Access Program and Agricultural Trade Promotion Program.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-25 00:10:09 | 2025-07-31 18:25:11 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6826 | Australia: A-EU FTA negotiations must deliver for red meat | Ahead of what may be a final push for the Australia-European Union Free Trade Agreement (A-EU FTA) negotiations, the Australian red meat industry is adamant that the Australian Government maintains its stated objective of securing significant increases in market access for red meat. | <p><span lang="DE">Industry representatives will travel to Osaka next week to coincide with Trade Minister Farrell meeting with his EU counterpart, and encourage the Minister to continue the mission of ‘levelling the playing field’ for Australian beef and sheepmeat access to the EU.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">With the EU holding firm on its highly restrictive quota position, Australian officials must also be resolute that there should be no deal for the sake of a deal – and importantly, no deal without addressing the red meat sector’s disproportionally low volume access.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Our case for seeking and securing significant trade reform is compelling", says Andrew McDonald, Chair of the Australia-EU Red Meat Market Access Taskforce (the Taskforce).</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"The EU is one of the world’s largest meat consumers and in order to service this demand, there is an ongoing import requirement.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Australia’s trading relationship with the EU is based on shared values and is heavily focussed on meeting EU customer demand for high quality red meat products.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"However, our ability to service the market is severely limited due to the EU’s maintenance of outdated, inequitable and restrictive quotas and high tariffs.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"This access has been largely unaltered for nearly 50 years; but to make matters worse, it has actually been eroded while we’ve been negotiating the FTA.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"We’ve watched our competitors improve their access to the market and now we’re looking to ‘level the playing field’ - as the EU mantra consistently states".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">The current competitive disadvantage for our products must be addressed. The trade imbalance on meat products which favours the EU must be addressed. These negotiations are the precise, and potentially only, fora to achieve these imperatives.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"Our industry is an ardent supporter of trade reform and we have worked very closely with the negotiating team and their EU counterparts to ensure our position is well known", Mr McDonald said.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"These negotiations, while challenging, must get it right. Agreeing to a sub-optimal outcome will set back any reform to our trade framework to the EU for the foreseeable future and detrimentally impact our trade resilience and diversification for decades to come".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">Industry concurs with Trade Minister Farrell’s recent comment that: "if we can land a deal with the EU, it will deepen and diversify our trade, expand opportunities for Australian exporters and strengthen our supply chains".</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">This is a direct reflection of the red meat industry’s position. Now the Government needs to stand and deliver.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">"This is a once in a generation opportunity for our industry to improve our market access and we’re looking to Minister Farrell and his government to maintain the resolve, even if that takes the negotiations beyond an end October timeline", Mr McDonald said.</span></p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-25 00:15:08 | 2025-08-01 07:08:58 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6827 | UK: Concerns grow over risks of low imported egg standards | British Lion eggs, NFU and RSPCA have voiced their concerns in the national media with the increasing volume and low standard of imported eggs, following figures from the Animal and Plant Health Agency. | <p><span lang="DE">Data shows that the number of eggs imported from Poland rose by more than 2,000%, from 46 consignments to 1,095 between 2021 and August 2023.

| 6830 | SÜFFA 2023: 100 percent awesome | Top address for the meat industry: exhibitors and organiser confirmed the high expertise of visitors and a good investment climate | <p>After three exciting, inspiring and, above all, successful trade fair days, the 26th SÜFFA in Stuttgart closed its doors today with a positive overall result: "We managed to optimise a tried and tested concept once more", said Stefan Lohnert, President of Messe Stuttgart. "Feedback from all sectors clearly showed us once again that SÜFFA is more than just a marketplace and a product show for the meat industry. It is an important future platform where not only the entire range of the butcher's trade is represented, but challenges are analysed and potential solutions are shown".</p> <p>7,543 trade visitors came to the Stuttgart Trade Fair Center from 21 to 23 October to find out about current trends and the latest market developments from the 209 exhibitors. The trade visitors, 85 percent of whom were decision-makers, sounded out new business ideas and planned upcoming investments during discussions with colleagues and experts from the meat industry. This proved that the appeal of SÜFFA now extends far beyond the borders of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. More than half of the visitors travelled a distance of over 100 kilometres. This year's edition of the popular trade fair welcomed guests from more than 50 countries, including several international delegations and teams. Indian, Polish and Austrian trainees competed, for example, with colleagues from Germany in the junior competition and demonstrated their skills.</p> <p><strong>"Positive mood" and broad interest</strong></p> <p>All in all, there was "an absolutely positive atmosphere", enthused Joachim Lederer, Master of the Baden-Württemberg Regional Association of Butchers’ Guilds. "Thanks to the wide range and high quality of the products and services on offer, SÜFFA was able to reaffirm its importance as a top address for the meat industry. You felt that there was a good investment climate in general. Especially now, it is important to make the right decisions because courageous solutions often hold great opportunities. Anyone who understood this came to SÜFFA. It was a fantastic trade fair with first-class visitors!"</p> <p>In addition to raw materials, machines, digital technology and services, the wide-ranging interests of the trade visitors focused on future issues such as raw material security, 24/7 sales or vegetarian options. Current special topics such as delicatessen or game and hunting were presented in a vivid way. They formed attractive focal points of the well-attended trade fair. The BBQ area took account of the continuing BBQ trend with the BBQ shows which acted as a magnet for visitors. With the special sections "The Wishing Table 2.0" and "Buffet Reloaded", which were developed in cooperation with the Intergastra team and the IKA/Culinary Olympics, SÜFFA once again looked outside the box in order to present new requirements and interdisciplinary overlaps in a contemporary way. This was expressly welcomed by the visitors. There was plenty to look at again in the transparent sausage kitchen where a vegan product was also made for the first time.</p> <p><strong>"SÜFFA perennial favourites" and new formats</strong></p> <p>The extensive accompanying programme included a large number of information events and panel discussions. The core of the event was once again the stage for trends and innovations with first-class talks and discussions which were gladly embraced by an inquisitive audience. Other SÜFFA classics such as the eagerly awaited SÜFFA competitions or the Day of Women in Butchery were just as well received as new programme elements - primarily the networking meeting on Saturday and Sunday, which celebrated its première at this year's SÜFFA. "The great response shows us that we are still on the right track with this trade fair", concluded Stefan Lohnert.</p> <p><strong>Specific inquiries, good contacts and satisfied exhibitors</strong></p> <p>The exhibitors' verdict was similarly positive: "SÜFFA exceeded our expectations", said Steffen Cyris, Managing Director of Schrutka-Peukert GmbH, and confirmed: "We were literally overrun by good trade visitors. The hard times after the energy crisis are definitely over - the mood is noticeably better again and we received some specific inquiries". This was also underlined by Thomas Pfeiffer, Area Sales Manager Retail South of BIZERBA SE & Co. KG, who also praised the high expertise of the visitors: "Overall, there was a superb atmosphere at SÜFFA! We met interested trade visitors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, who showed great interest in innovations and new products". Martin Fuchs, Sales Manager South at Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik, noted a continuing willingness to invest within the industry: "Due to the forced break caused by the corona pandemic, visitors obviously had SÜFFA withdrawal symptoms - there was a great deal going on. We met the right customers here, are totally satisfied and will definitely come back to the next SÜFFA!" Andreas Seydelmann, Managing Partner of Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG, added: "As a Stuttgart-based company, SÜFFA is a home game for us and is regarded as one of the most important trade fairs for the meat industry. In addition to the contacts and discussions with existing, long-standing customers, we welcomed new contacts on our stand from Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, France and South Tyrol, but also from Spain and Poland. The three days of the trade fair were a complete success for us and we are already looking forward to the sequel in 2024".</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-27 00:05:58 | 2025-08-01 06:06:19 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 6833 | AHDB: Lamb market monthly update - September 2023 | The liveweight NSL SQQ averaged 251.1p/kg in September, down by just over 8p since August, according to AHDB. However, it has remained above 2022 levels. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">The deadweight NSL SQQ averaged 549.7p/kg in the week ending 9 September. Prices peaked at 553.1p/kg towards the middle of the month before easing to 549.7p/kg. The monthly average was still up 25p against September 2022.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">As seen in August, cull ewe prices eased again in September 2023 to average £74.70/head for the month. This was still up £1.70 on the average price seen a year ago.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Fuel prices have been climbing steadily over the last quarter, driven by price support in wider oil markets. Marginal monthly increases were also seen in fertiliser prices between August and September. Looking forward, any rises in natural gas prices in the months ahead are likely to translate into higher nitrogen fertiliser and fuel prices.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The latest Agricultural Price Index (API) shows that the rate of inflation in prices paid for goods and services has continued to ease. All key input costs are significantly down compared to last year, where they were inflated to historic highs relating to the war in Ukraine.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">UK sheep meat production for September 2023 totalled 22,700 tonnes, declining by 7% since August. This fall has been driven by a decrease in slaughterings, sitting at 994,000 head for the month. Carcase weights had little impact on production averaging 19.6p/g, similar to August figures.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of trade, August sheep meat import volumes were higher than 2022 rates for the first time this year. Increased amounts of sheep meat have been imported from New Zealand and Australia, where prices are extremely competitive. Meanwhile, export levels have risen by 21% since last month to 6,400 tonnes, also sitting above last year's export levels by 8%.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-30 00:06:50 | 2025-07-31 23:46:37 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6834 | Minerva Foods: Halal consumption grows in the Middle East | Murilo Corral dos Santos , export director at Minerva Foods, stated in his participation in the second edition of the Global Halal Brazil Business Forum that the company's commercial strategy is closely linked to the Middle East. | <p>He cited projections on the halal market in the world based on the USDA to show that, from 2018 to 2024, an increase of 24% in both imports and consumer demand is estimated. markets in the Middle East and North Africa.</p> <p>Saudi Arabia appears with an increase of 35%, in the space of five to six years, and the United Arab Emirates, with an expansion of 12%. Egypt had a decrease in its consumption, but a significant increase in its production. Even so, the country still has an import need of around 32%.</p> <p>In markets outside this region, such as the Philippines, 52% of beef consumption requires imports. In Malaysia, this number is even higher: 96%. "We have a responsibility as a company to not only serve the Middle East and North African markets, but also all halal markets around the world", predicted Santos.</p> <p>In 2008, Minerva went public and went to the market in search of investors who believed in the company. At that time, it had seven plants, one of them in Paraguay.</p> <p>In 2015, the company set foot in Colombia. At that time, it already had 17 plants - one for processing - and was already in four countries: Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia.</p> <p>Today, Minerva has 30 industries, three processing plants, two in Argentina, one in Brazil, and is present in six countries: Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia and Australia. The company considers geographic diversification to be an extremely relevant item in its commercial strategy, as it allows it to mitigate risks by not depending on a single market. "We have a business platform established in six markets that allows us to reach customers around the world in a much less risky way", said Santos.</p> <p>Minerva currently has the capacity to slaughter 30,000 heads of beef in Brazil and 19,000 heads of lamb in Australia. Another important point, said the executive, are the international offices. The company is 31 years old, and 28 years ago it exported beef for the first time to the Lebanese market, where it set up its first office abroad. “And, in this same business model, we expanded to three other offices in order to cover 100% of the world.”</p> <p>The strategy is to be close to the customer and have people who understand the local culture. According to Santos, this is very important to understand how to offer solutions to this client in a more sustainable way. The company's CCO is based in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, "one flight away" from any country and between Asia and Latin America, allowing full coverage of time zones, streamlining communication and facilitating transmission information between the offices and countries where the company operates. In the Middle East, it has offices in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Dubai.</p> <p>From 2022 to 2023, in the period from January to September, the volume of halal products shipped to the Middle East and North Africa increased by 12%. Excluding these markets, exports of halal products practically tripled compared to 2021 and 2022.</p> <p>"Part of our responsibility is to look at Muslim markets around the world, and they are not only located in the Middle East and North Africa, but also in Asia, Europe and the Americas", explained Santos.</p> <p>Global Halal is sponsored by BRF, Marfrig, Minerva Foods, Laila Travel, Turkish Airlines and Embratur, in partnership with Apex Brasil, the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, the Union of Arab Chambers and the Arab League, and support from the Halal Academy.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-30 00:10:34 | 2025-08-01 16:29:36 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 6837 | USDA published new standards for organic livestock and poultry production | Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack previewed the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards (OLPS) final rule. This new rule establishes clear, strong and consistent standards for organic livestock and poultry production, levels the playing field for organic livestock farmers, ranchers and businesses and promotes fairer, more competitive markets for their products, while providing consumers with more transparency about their purchases. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">"USDA is creating a fairer, more competitive and transparent food system. This organic poultry and livestock standard establishes clear and strong standards that will increase the consistency of animal welfare practices in organic production and in how these practices are enforced", said Vilsack. "Competitive markets help deliver greater value to all producers, regardless of size".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This change was driven by strong interest from consumers and the organic industry. USDA encouraged the public to comment and USDA received more than 40,000 written comments, all of which were carefully reviewed to inform drafting of this final rule. USDA also held a listening session on August 2022 to hear public comments on the proposed rule.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">OLPS improves uniformity with regard to animal welfare practice requirements for organic livestock and poultry, promoting their well-being and natural behaviors.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The final rule outlines more consistent standards for six key areas, including:</p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li><strong>Outdoor space requirements</strong>: OLPS sets minimum outdoor space requirements for organic poultry and requires ready access to the outdoors. Outdoor areas must be at least 75 percent soil and include vegetation to the degree possible.</li> <li><strong>Indoor and outdoor living conditions</strong>: Shelters must have sufficient space for livestock to lie down, stand up, turn around, fully stretch their limbs or wings and express natural behaviors, such as rooting in pigs and scratching in chickens. Bedding areas must be sufficiently large and comfortable to keep livestock hygienic (for the species), dry and free of lesions.</li> <li><strong>Poultry stocking densities</strong>: The rule sets specific requirements for indoor and outdoor stocking densities to align with advisory board recommendations, third-party animal welfare standards and public comments from organic stakeholders.</li> <li><strong>Preventative health care practices</strong>: Producers must maintain preventative health care practices that include sufficient nutrition and comprehensive parasite prevention plans. Animals must be treated with allowed medicines to minimize pain, stress and suffering. All necessary treatment must be administered, even if the animal loses its organic status.</li> <li><strong>Physical alterations and euthanasia</strong>: Physical alterations are permitted only for identification purposes or the safety of the animals, and certain alterations are prohibited altogether. Alterations must be performed at a young age for the species and in a manner that minimizes the animal’s pain and stress. Humane euthanasia may only be used if treatment is not an option.</li> <li><strong>Transport, handling and slaughter</strong>: Operations must describe how organic management and animal welfare will be maintained for transport that exceeds eight hours. Animals must be fit for transport. The mode of transport must be seasonally appropriate to protect livestock from cold or heat. Operations must adhere to USDA (FSIS) humane slaughter standards.</li> </ul> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In partnership with USDA-accredited certifiers, USDA’s National Organic Program will oversee the implementation of and enforce compliance with these new, more consistent standards to support the growth of the organic market.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Implementing OLPS will give organic livestock and poultry farmers, ranchers and businesses - including those interested in transitioning to organic - more opportunities to compete fairly in the market. The rule supports ongoing consumer confidence and trust in the USDA organic seal by better aligning the organic standards with consumers’ expectations for animal welfare. Many consumers are willing to pay a premium for organic livestock products, particularly for the organic chicken, egg and meat industry. By increasing consumer trust in the organic label by aligning the organic standard with consumers’ animal welfare preferences, USDA is helping to deliver greater value to producers, and creating a fairer, more competitive and transparent food system.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The announcement supports USDA’s ongoing National Organic Program mission to protect the integrity of the USDA organic seal and maintain strong consumer confidence in the label. USDA-certified organic products are an increasingly important part of American agriculture, and the organic community represents a fast-growing food and farming sector in the United States and the global marketplace.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this year, the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) previewed the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) final rule. The final rule is the biggest update to the organic regulations since the original Act in 1990, providing a significant increase in oversight and enforcement authority to reinforce the trust of consumers, farmers and those transitioning to organic production.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-31 00:05:03 | 2025-08-01 07:15:59 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6838 | AHDB: British red meat and dairy shine at Anuga | Earlier this month, Anuga, the world's leading food trade fair, proved to be the ideal platform for levy payers to connect with international buyers, build new relationships and expand their presence in the global market, informs the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). | <p style="font-weight: 400;">This year, 13 red meat and 14 dairy exporters joined AHDB on the Quality Meat from Britain Pavilion in the Meat Hall at the event in Cologne, Germany. The British Dairy Pavilion represented a collaboration between AHDB and the UK government.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">With more than 7,900 exhibitors and 169,600 visitors, the AHDB stands were extremely busy, with continuous high-level buyer activity throughout the five-day event.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Visitors sampled high-quality British red meat and dairy products in recipes such as beef fillet steak with peeled vegetables, Frankfurt herbs and mustard seeds; pink-roasted rack of lamb with dried fruits, bulgur, shitake mushrooms and coriander; and pulled pork served in a brioche bun with coleslaw and barbecue sauce.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Located in the centre of the Meat Hall, our pavilion was adorned with the red GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland logo, proudly promoting the best of the UK agri-food produce abroad.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Designs describing the quality of British red meat and farming environments added an extra finesse to the look and feel of the stand, which also served as a space for exporters to network, collaborate and capitalise on each other’s leads.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The export team’s commitment to driving export opportunities for levy payers, both processors and farmers, was evident. The team included experts in various markets, such as the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and they were able to provide the exporters with the support and expertise needed.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Kevin Hollinrake MP, Minister for Enterprise, Markets and Small Business at the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), visited the stands on Monday 9 October. He met with almost all the red meat and dairy exporters, emphasising the Government's commitment to promoting more export activities.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Minister commended the AHDB Export team for their efforts in ensuring that there are representatives in different countries and that the levy is used wisely in terms of promoting British produce around the world.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Some of the exporters with stands on the AHDB pavilion included Woodhead Bros, Dingley Dell Ltd., Pilgrim's UK, GPS Food Group, Cranswick PLC, Dunbia, Norwest Food International Ltd., Pickstock Telford Ltd., Warrendale Wagyu Ltd., Menai Meats Wales Ltd., Karro Food Group and Foyle Food Group Ltd.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Cheryl Brett, International Sales Manager at Coombe Castle, said:</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Anuga has been a fantastic show for several reasons. We’ve managed to showcase our full range of Great British dairy products. In addition, we have met all our customers - existing and hopefully new - at the show and we are hoping to follow that up with lots of fantastic sales.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"We work extensively with AHDB and value the support we get from them in the markets that we work in, especially when we want to enter a new market. The exhibitions they host, especially in the Asian markets, work well in the format in which they have them. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to enter some new markets".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Mark Hayward, a farmer representing family-owned Dingley Dell Pork, added:</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Being able to attend Anuga for a business like ours is fantastic. We are one of 900 meat exhibitors and almost certainly the smallest one here, but we have people from all over the world here sourcing products.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"For us, it is a time to catch up with some of our clients abroad who are visiting the show, but also to meet people from the Caribbean, Taiwan and other countries. So, anyone coming to this show who has done their research and is looking for some type of specialty pork, we are going to be on their radar".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"This is our second time at Anuga and it has been a great event. We don't do a lot of shows, but we've had interest from the Dominican Republic and Hong Kong, where we already trade. This is the food world coming to you. They are not going to find me on the farm".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Jonathan Eckley, Head of International Trade and Development at AHDB, said:</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Anuga is the biggest and most important trade show in the world this year. There were nearly 1,000 exhibitors in the Meat Hall and 70,000 visitors.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"We had 13 exporters taking space on our stand. The reason we come is to meet both new and existing clients because it is a competitive world. AHDB was at Anuga to fly the British flag, represent the meat industry across beef, lamb and pork and show the world quality British produce".</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-10-31 00:10:26 | 2025-08-01 15:30:30 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6839 | INTERPORC recognizes excellence in pig production at the PORC D'OR AWARDS | The Interprofessional INTERPORC was very present at the 2023 Porc d'Or de Capa Blanca Awards gala, in which the excellence practiced by the best farms of pork from Spain was recognized. Organized by the Institute of Agri-Food Research and Technology (IRTA), this event has had the support of INTERPORC since its inception. | <p>The representatives of the Interprofessional presented three awards. In the fourth category, farms with more than 2,000 breeding animals, Manuel García, president of INTERPORC, gave the Numerical Productivity Award. For his part, Alberto Herranz, director of INTERPORC, did the same with the Birth Rate Award. Finally, Daniel de Miguel, Deputy Director of INTERPORC, was in charge of giving the Numerical Productivity Award in the third category, farms with 1,001 to 2,000 breeders.</p> <p> "Although those of us who live this sector from within know that we are a modern, sustainable industry that respects animal welfare, the excellence reflected in the data of the awarded farms each year is always an impulse that fills us with reasons to know that we are going for the right path", said Manuel García.</p> <p>For this reason, he added that "the Porc d'Or awards are one of the most special moments of the year for our sector. All professionals expect it, from managers to farm operators, since they all see how their efforts and daily work are recognized".</p> <p>And he concluded by emphasizing "congratulations to IRTA, for their excellent 30-year track record and for the magnificent work they do in organizing these Awards".

| 6840 | Quality reform and promotion: success of the Italian system | ASSICA (Meat and Cured Meat Industrial Association), ISIT (Institute of Protected Italian Cured Meats) and IVSI (Institute of Valorization of Italian Cured Meats) express their deepest satisfaction both for the inter-institutional political agreement reached on 24 October regarding the reform of the regulation EU on geographical indications which for having obtained - on 25 October - that a new sub-criterion - proposed by the European Commission - for programs aimed at the EU internal market was removed from the award criteria for EU promotion funds for the year 2024 which discriminated against red and processed meat. | <p>"I am sure that without the work of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (MASAF) with the qualified personnel of the relevant directorates and of Paolo De Castro with his office whose value is also confirmed on this occasion, it would not have been possible to obtain a political agreement on such a large package of amendment proposals which considerably improve the European Commission's proposal. We would like to underline our profound belief that the strategy adopted represents an example of successful "good practices" on community dossiers. All this with the constant and qualified collaboration of our Permanent Representation in Brussels which has never failed to provide its technical-political support. We are convinced that such a "modus-operandi" can be repeated more and more often in the future until it becomes the operational normality of our Government" declared Pietro D'Angeli, President of ASSICA.</p> <p>"We couldn't be more satisfied. All ISIT objectives were achieved. The result goes beyond all expectations, taking into account the difficulties of a negotiation which saw, especially in the Council, the majority of Member States hostile to the EU Geographical Indications system. And Paolo De Castro has confirmed, once again, that he is one of the best negotiators at European level. In my opinion, the political agreement confirms not only the political vision of GIs as one of the pillars of agri-food development of the European Union but also a system without equal in the world. Considering that the Consortia, especially the Italian ones, represent the development engine of the GIs, I consider it an extraordinary result to have maintained - in the midst of such different interests and sensitivities - not only the "status quo" with regards to their composition, representativeness and legal framework but also more and better responsibilities as proposed by the European Parliament. We are also particularly satisfied with the national exemption on the origin of animal feed which represented one of the priorities for the livestock supply chain, essential to guarantee the specificity of our Made in Italy products. Not to mention the countless further improvements such as, just to name a few, the new rules on GIs when used as ingredients, with the possibility for Member States to further strengthen the new provisions through an authorization procedure at national level and ex-officio protection also in the internet domain system, with an immediate "geoblocking" system of all illicit content" continued Lorenzo Beretta, President of ISIT.</p> <p>"With regards to the criteria of EU funds for the promotion of EU agri-food products - concluded Francesco Pizzagalli, President of IVSI - the work of MASAF, in collaboration with other Member States, has ensured that an approach aimed at avoid preconceived discrimination between products, proactive and support for all productions that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. A formula of guaranteed success for all the Member States of the Union and for the European agri-food heritage which must be defended and helped to overcome the unexpected and burdensome international dynamics more than ever in this period. The EU promotion policy has been a real success when it comes to supporting the competitiveness of EU agri-food products and, thanks to yesterday's result, it will continue to be so for all sectors at least also during 2024".</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-11-01 00:05:57 | 2025-08-01 04:44:54 | Details Edit Delete |
