1630	Spanish pork is at its lowest price in the last 5 years	Packers and pork producers are finding it more difficult to get agreements driven by international markets.	<p>Spain, the fourth-largest pork producer in the world, is having a hard time to keep up with the evolution of the global market.<br />The Spanish pork industry is affected by the low demand for pork products on the Chinese market and the producers are surfing around their break-even point. "The cost of production for the first six months of 2018 has been around of 1.04–1.05 €/kg average. On the packers side the profit per market hog is between 2.27 and 3.4€ average", explains Mercedes Vega, Genesus General Director for Spain, Italy & Portugal, in a market report.<br />Last year, Spain has reported a pig population of about 49.6 million pigs and 4.25 million tons of pork produced in the country. "The packing plants are experienced a lot of tension in the market, mainly because of changes on China’s market which have decelerated its pork demand damming the volume of stored pork. There are a lot of uncertainty about pork exports outside the EU causing these lower prices domestically. It seems like right now the packers are starting to lose money", added Mercedes Vega.<br />There is more demand than offer from the packing plants, since they need to cover a minimum volume in order to avoid higher loses, on the other hand, the packers are facing the frozen storages stock. On the other hand, a cool summer has pushed up the weight of slaughtered pigs, which created a strange situation in the market. At this time "Spain is at its lowest prices of the last five years and its highest live weights going to the market. The price is well below a year ago, while the liveweight is higher", observed Vega.</p>	1		Industry		2018-07-21 10:56:41	2025-08-06 11:34:35	Details Edit Delete
1631	Australian red meat promoted in Brussels	The FTA with EU is seen as one of Australia's biggest trade agreements once concluded.	<p>Meat and Livestock Australia's mission in Brussels have organized its annual barbeque party in order to promote the country's red meat products. This year's event was focused on the trade talks recently open between the Australia and EU. This year’s BBQ menu was influenced by the old European cuisine and the guests were welcomed with Mediterranean and Spanish tapas flavors, Brasserie style cooking and the traditional English Sunday roast used for inspiration.<br />MLA Europe international business manager Josh Anderson said the BBQ had become an important fixture on the MLA Europe activity calendar especially this year, given the positive momentum around trade talks.</p> <p>“The BBQ is not only a showcase of our high-quality red meat that Australia wants to supply to Europe and a celebration of our farmers who produce it but an important event promoting the merits of liberalized trade in Europe to a hugely influential crowd. MLA has worked hard to build this network of contacts in Europe who are in encouragement of greater trade with Australia. The support shown at our event is a true reflection of our industry and government’s ongoing activities in the market,” Josh Anderson said.<br />The Australian Government estimates that a trade agreement with the EU would open the door to a market of half a billion consumers and a GDP of US$17.3 trillion - making it one of Australia's biggest trade agreements once concluded.<br />Two-way trade in goods exceeded $68 billion in 2017. Yet while a lucrative market, the EU’s continued protectionist stance towards agricultural imports has restricted Australia’s ability to respond to market demands and these trading conditions have remained unchanged for 40 years. <br />The EU is Australia's second largest trading partner and third largest export destination and was the country’s largest source of foreign investment in 2017.<br />The talks were officially opened in June and Australia's red meat industry has high hopes on a trade deal with EU.<br />For beef, Australia currently has access to a country-specific quota of only 7,150 tonnes, as well as shared access to a 45,000-tonne global grain-fed beef quota - which in combination represent 0.2% of total EU beef consumption. For sheepmeat/goatmeat, Australia’s country-specific quota is currently just 19,186 tonnes or less than 2% of total EU sheepmeat consumption.<br />"The launch of FTA negotiations with the EU provides a significant opportunity to revisit Australia’s red meat access to the European market for the first time in over forty years. The EU is a major consumer of imported meat - with the European Commission identifying an ongoing requirement for both imported beef and sheepmeat due to deficits in domestic supply. While Australia is ideally positioned to help service this market requirement via dedicated supply chains, our access is limited by the EU’s highly restrictive import regime. Compared with many other countries supplying the EU, Australia experiences disproportionately low volume quotas, high duties within certain quotas and trade prohibitive above-quota tariffs”, mentioned Jason Strong, Chair of the Australia-EU Red Meat Market Access Taskforce.</p>	1		Events		2018-07-21 11:46:32	2025-08-06 01:44:26	Details Edit Delete
1632	E.coli outbreak investigated in Norway	So far, eight people, with ages between 4 and 75, have been affected by the infection.	<p>Norwegian authorities are investigating possible sources of an outbreak of E. coli which has affected eight people reports <a href="https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2018/07/e-coli-outbreak-sickens-8-in-norway-officials-search-for-source/#.W1Qio8JDPIU">Food Safety News</a> portal.<br />The illnesses began last month, with patients spread across the country, and the source is still unknown. People can become infected from E. coli bacteria by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, and contact with infected animals or people who have the illness.<br />The sick people are between 4 and 75 years old and they live in Aust-Agder, Akershus, Oslo, Oppland, Vestfold, Hordaland and Trondelag.<br />Local authorities, Veterinaerinstituttet (Veterinary Institute) and Mattilsynet (Food Safety Authority) are helping with the investigation, which includes patient surveys and lab tests on samples taken from patients’ homes.<br />Last year, Norway has been confronted with three other E.coli outbreaks that affected 10 people. It was the first year since 2013 that there had been an outbreak associated with the pathogen in the country.<br />Symptoms vary but often include bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps, usually beginning two to five days after exposure to the bacteria. Most people recover within 10 days. However, people in high-risk groups can suffer severe symptoms and side effects that result in hospitalization and sometimes death. High-risk groups include young children, adults older than 65, people such as cancer patients and transplant recipients who have weakened immune systems, and pregnant women.</p> <p>The bacteria is destroyed by thoroughly cooking foods until all parts reach a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius or higher. Raw and cooked food should be kept separate and vegetables and fruit should be washed thoroughly before eating.</p>	1		Industry		2018-07-22 07:39:48	2025-08-05 12:59:08	Details Edit Delete

Production was less than 1% above year earlier levels across May-June, compared to a 6% growth in the first four months of the year.</p> <p>"The modest decline in absolute production during June was driven by a 2% drop in clean pig slaughterings, which totalled 831,700 head.

1637	1.1 million tonnes of meat is stored in the US warehouses	Production is too high, exports are falling and the cold-storage warehouses are getting filled up.	<p>Overproduction and a fall in exports could seriously damage the US meat industry. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the industry is expected to produce over 46 million tonnes of meat the year and that could turn into a real blow for the producers as the exports are falling due to the trade wars with China, Canada and Mexico, reports <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/meat-piles-up-as-production-grows-and-exports-slow-1532268000">Wall Street Journa</a>l.<br />Pork exports to China are already down by 18% due to a 62% duty imposed by Beijing and Mexico has also added a 20% tariff for pork products originated in the US.<br />Federal data expected to be released this week will show a meat inventory of more than 1.1 million tonnes. That could put pressure on prices and severely reduce the profits for producers. In fact, it could produce "one of the biggest corrections we’ve seen in the industry in several years", as Rabobank's protein analyst Christine McCracken said.<br />The effects are already present in the market as some of the hog farmers and pork processors have put on hold a series of investments, such as Maschhoffs LLC's $30 million plan for to expand its breeding operations and upgrade truck washes and other biosecurity measures.<br />Ken Maschhoff, the company’s chairman, admitted that is considering moving a part of its operations to Eastern Europe or South America. If the exports are not rising in the next few months, most of the meat stored in the warehouses is going to turn into pet-food.</p>	1		Industry		2018-07-23 10:28:03	2025-08-06 00:19:34	Details Edit Delete
