| 8114 | Tesco bolsters support for British farmers as it relaunches Sustainable Farming Group for pigs | Tesco has announced further support for its British farmers and suppliers with the relaunch and extension of its Tesco Sustainable Pig Group (TSPG). | <p style="font-weight: 400;">The group, developed in partnership with Tesco’s long-term supplier, Cranswick, will cover all production methods used in the UK and include farms of varying sizes. Tesco estimates the group could be worth at least £670m over the initial three years of the scheme.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The group will initially produce all Tesco’s Finest fresh pork, with the ambition of tripling in size over the next three years to produce all Tesco’s core fresh pork and sausages, making it one of the largest farming producer groups in the UK. Farmers will receive a combination of cost of production and market price+ incentives, giving producers greater stability in pricing, and help to support longer term investment.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The reintroduction of the group by Tesco follows 18 months of continued support for the industry, with the supermarket increasing the tonnage of British pork used in its sausages, bacon, pork and gammon by 20% during that period. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The group will play a significant role in developing Tesco’s approach to sustainable production, providing a forum for suppliers, farmers and Tesco colleagues to come together and improve welfare, innovation, quality standards and collaboration.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Among the incentivised improvements in animal welfare will be a drive to increase the number of farms with enhanced farrowing, and decreasing stocking densities on farms across the TSPG.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Tesco currently operates Sustainable Farming Groups across a number of supply chains, including milk, cheese, beef, lamb and potatoes. The groups offer members fair and transparent pricing structures, as well as support to reduce emissions through carbon foot-printing. They also convene industry representatives; share knowledge between farmers, suppliers and Tesco colleagues; and trial innovations that can help reduce on-farm emissions and protect biodiversity. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Ashwin Prasad, Chief Commercial Officer, Tesco said: "Our dedicated British farmers have faced some challenging times recently, and we’ve been doing everything we can to support them. Our sustainable farming groups play a vital role, providing forums for collaboration and innovation, as well as encouraging improvements in product quality, animal welfare and environmental measures. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"With this in mind, I’m delighted to announce a step up in our support for our British pig farmers. Our new cost of production mechanism and bonus incentives will provide real benefits to farmers who will be able to invest in key welfare, sustainability and efficiency improvements".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The relaunch of the Group comes after Tesco and Harper Adams University’s School of Sustainable Food and Farming (SSFF) published a report on the future sustainability of the agriculture sector in the UK. The report, which has been informed by Tesco’s farmers, sets out a series of recommendations to aid sustainability across agriculture and the wider food industry. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Adam Couch, Chief Executive Officer, Cranswick said: "It is great to see Tesco’s continued commitment to British pig farming and we are delighted to be collaborating with them to ensure the long-term viability of the sector. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Our own farming expertise, long standing producer relationships and partnership with Tesco will undoubtedly accelerate sustainable, higher welfare practices. We are excited to see how this innovative approach can benefit both producers and consumers alike"/</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Lizzie Wilson, The National Pig Association (NPA), said: "NPA is supportive of Tesco’s new contract announcement as it demonstrates not only the desire to secure a considerable British supply of pork, but that it requires a long-term retail commitment to ensure pig businesses are sustainable and able to reinvest for the future. We particularly note the commitment to supporting indoor producers who want to invest in improving welfare and the sustainability of their farms and hope other retailers follow suit".</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-01-21 00:20:48 | 2025-07-14 10:08:41 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 5900 | Tesco announces new additional support for British egg industry | Tesco has announced further support for its British egg suppliers and producers, as the sector continues to experience challenging market conditions brought on by price increases in key inputs such as feed and energy and the avian flu outbreak. | <p>The support package includes £13.6m of support already provided to Tesco’s suppliers and producers since March this year, as well as a commitment to provide a further £13.9m of additional support until March 2023, with the support continuing after that date.</p> <p>Earlier this year, Tesco announced five-year contracts with its five main British shell egg suppliers - Anglia Free Range Eggs, Glenrath Farms, Griffiths Family Farms, Noble Foods and Skea Eggs. The long-term contracts, which began in October, mean Tesco will continue to stock 100% British shell eggs in its stores, while helping to provide UK egg farmers with the confidence to invest and plan for the future.</p> <p>Tesco has also confirmed the continuation of its industry-leading poultry feed model. Poultry feed represents up to 70% of the cost of production on egg and poultry farms. The model adjusts to price changes in the market, providing producers with the cost protection and security they need when buying feed.</p> <p>The support package will be paid to suppliers to cover the cost of handling, processing and egg production, including any increases in feed for farmers. Tesco will continue to work with its suppliers to ensure the additional investment gets passed to farmers as quickly as possible.</p> <p><strong>Dominic Morrey, Tesco Commercial Director for Fresh said:</strong></p> <p>"We know the British egg sector continues to face acute market conditions with input costs continuing to increase, and avian flu causing disruption and adding complexities to farming conditions and the supply chain. We’re pleased to continue our support for UK suppliers and producers, as well as provide reassurance to our customers that we will remain 100% British on all our shell eggs."</p> <p>"With five-year contracts with our suppliers now underway, and our well-established feed model in place, we hope the support we’re providing alleviates some of the pressure being felt and provides the industry with confidence and protection during these uncertain times."</p> <p>Tesco and its suppliers are committed to high welfare standards and together are working towards the retailer’s aim of 100% cage free eggs by 2025. It is hoped the new long-term contracts will help achieve the commitment.</p> <p><strong>Mark Williams, Chief Executive of the British Egg Industry Council said:</strong></p> <p>"We are delighted that Tesco is investing in its supply chain to support British egg producers. We know that consumers want and expect the eggs on retailers’ shelves to be British and it is great to see Tesco publicly reinforcing its commitment to stock British Lion eggs. The Lion is not only recognised by consumers as a sign of quality, but it also shows that the eggs are approved by the Food Standards Agency to be eaten runny by everyone, including vulnerable groups."</p> <p>The continued support for UK egg farmers is the latest in a series of measures by Tesco designed to help its UK supply base through challenging market conditions. Earlier this year, Tesco announced a near 20% rise in the price it pays its British dairy farmers for all its fresh milk.</p> <p>To help support the British pig sector, the retailer also announced a £10million enhanced payment plan for its farmers and suppliers, alongside a number of other initiatives, including an increase in the volume of British pork in store.<br /><br /><strong>Supportive quotes from Tesco suppliers:</strong></p> <p><strong>Anglia Free Range Eggs:</strong><br /><strong>Clair Bullen, Head of Sales & Marketing, Anglia Free Range Eggs:</strong></p> <p>"We welcome Tesco’s ongoing commitment and support for our free range producers. Our farmers continue to face unprecedented inflationary costs and are now dealing with the devastating impact of Avian Influenza across the UK. Our goal is to continue to work closely with Tesco to create a truly economically sustainable model which will deliver for the future."</p> <p><strong>Glenrath Farms:</strong><br /><strong>Ian Campbell, Managing Director, Glenrath Farms:</strong></p> <p>"Glenrath Farms have supplied Tesco for over 30 years, and we have a superb working relationship with them. Like many other suppliers we are currently facing unprecedented challenges due to inflation. Ten years ago Tesco introduced a cost of production and feed model to make supplier costs transparent and fair to both supplier and buyer. These models have given Glenrath a fair and up to date price for their product. This in turn has given our company the confidence to invest in the future. In addition the Tesco team are always just a call away in providing any support and advice."</p> <p><strong>Griffiths Family Farms:</strong><br /><strong>Aled Griffiths OBE, Chairman, Griffiths Family Farms:</strong></p> <p>"Recent unprecedented events have added extreme volatility to the supply chain which has added significant pressure to production costs. Griffiths family farms are pleased to be working with Tesco and welcome their ongoing support in addressing the structural changes needed to ensure sustainable UK egg production for the future."</p> <p><strong>Noble Foods:</strong><br /><strong>Duncan Everett, CEO, Noble Foods:</strong></p> <p>"We are delighted that Tesco have implemented this initiative to support the British egg industry. This is a challenging time for everyone involved, most recently exacerbated by utility inflation, the growing risk of AI and the rising cost of borrowings. This announcement demonstrates how by working together, we can ensure that the supply chain remains viable. We remain committed to continuing working with Tesco to overcome the long-term structural challenges that still exist within our industry. Today is a positive step for the future of the industry."</p> <p><strong>Skea Eggs:</strong><br /><strong>Harold Richmond, Agricultural Director, Skea Eggs</strong></p> <p>"At a time when egg producers are facing huge inflation-driven cost increases, with an overhanging threat of Avian Influenza to their businesses, Skea Eggs very much welcomes Tesco’s support package which will help support producers now and over the coming months. We must continue to work together to ensure we have a sustainable, secure supply base now and in the future."</p> <p><strong>Stonegate:</strong><br /><strong>Adrian Blyth, Head of Business Development, Stonegate Farmers Ltd:</strong></p> <p>"We have an incredibly loyal producer network for our Clarence Court eggs who are continuing to supply us under significant cost pressures and whilst we have and continue to pass on price increases from Tesco we are engaged in on-going discussions and recognise that further increases may be necessary to avoid further hardship and build towards a viable supply base for the medium term."</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2022-11-29 04:44:48 | 2025-07-14 13:13:20 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 4608 | TECH DAY added to Carnexpo GRILL's agenda | Novelties in meat processing technology will be highlighted at this year's edition of the event. | <p>Carnexpo GRILL 2021 adds an important topic to its agenda.

We really want the market to return to normal, but there is great uncertainty that we will be able to organize this year the classic CARNEXPO fair, where the participation was over 60,000 visitors ", says Eugen CAPRA, general manager of CARNEXPO Grill.</p> <p>Tech Day is a viable solution for suppliers to interact with specialists in the meat industry, HoReCa and even retail. The tent will be located near the gazebo inside Theodora Golf Club, a space that will be dedicated mainly to producers and processors of meat and meat products.</p> <p>It will be an exceptional edition, with many surprises for participants, in view of the partnerships concluded by CARNEXPO Grill with the National Association of Chefs and Confectioners in Tourism (ANBCT), the Association of Italian Chefs, the Disciples Escoffier Culinary Institute, the Association of Meat Processors of the Republic of Moldova the organizers of "D`ale Porcului" Festival (which will make live demonstrations of pork preparation) and last but not least, special guests from Belgium, Spain, Germany, etc. will be present.

What are the trends that are going to gain traction in the market in the next few years and how is the F&B industry responding?</p> <p>Please refer to our press pack on our worldwide surveys, published in September. In brief, waht we could say: All the studies of our Industry, Consumption and Foodservice experts - to be discovered exclusively here - and all the feedback from the professionals - many of whom will be exhibiting at SIAL Paris 2018 – attestto three major phenomena that are in the process of remodelling Planet Food. These phenomena can be summed up in three epithets: “taste”, “true” and “meaning”, and the claim really is no exaggeration, considering the degree to which these notions are being creatively fashioned worldwide. Notions that have been revamped and reinvented, and brought into line with the very spirit of the age! The emergence of these three phenomena has been dependent on the will of all Planet Food stakeholders, with each stakeholder feeding into and reinforcing<br />the phenomena, as if each one of us were conscious of the commitments incumbent on us, and which are in a way our common denominator. This, too, is something new: Planet Food has undergone a paradigm change! And this is no fleeting trend.</p> <p>It is a veritable revolution, tapping into the very DNA of our sector, and whichis transporting us in double-quick time from yesterday’s to tomorrow’s world. It is precisely the role of SIAL Paris, as the food innovation observatory, to throw the spotlight on this dynamic situation which, ingredient by ingredient, from one continent to the next, is helping determine what will go onto our plates in the future. In the food sector, the future can arrive quickly, very quickly: and so anticipation is the key.

| 2945 | Taste is the key driver in the American food market | The impact of taste on purchasing decisions is up significantly from 2018, reveals IFIC Foundation's Food&Health survey. | <p>Americans are interested in taste and the price they pay for their food, reveals the latest Food and Health survey from IFIC Foundation.<br />"Every Survey has seen “taste” reign supreme and in 2019 the trend continues. Deemed important by 86% of consumers, the impact of taste on purchasing decisions is up significantly from 81% in 2018. Other factors such as “price” (68%), “healthfulness” (62%) and “convenience” (57%) held steady. “Sustainability” as a purchase driver registered in the mid- to high-30 percentages through the years, but the 2019 refinement to “environmental sustainability” resulted in a drop to 27%, indicating that consumers may think of more than the environment when it comes to sustainability", says the report.<br />Regardless of the impact on purchasing decisions, over half of the consumers (54%) say it’s at least somewhat important that the products they buy to be produced in an environmentally sustainable way. Among those 54%, many look for specific labels or attributes to assess whether they believe a product is environmentally sustainable: 51% perceive products that are locally produced as environmentally sustainable, followed by products literally labeled as sustainably produced (47%), labeled as non-GMO/not bioengineered (47%), labeled as organic (44%), having recyclable packaging (41%) and having minimal packaging (35%).</p> <p>Sustainability isn’t the only term that means different things to different people. Even a seemingly straightforward term like “plant-based” is subject to interpretation. About three-quarters (73%) of people say they have heard of plant-based diets, and about half (51%) are interested in learning more about them. Consumers who have tried any diet in the past year are far more likely to have heard of plant-based diets than those who have not tried a diet in the past year (82% vs. 68%).</p> <p>But consumers are split on what they believe a plant-based diet means. About one-third (32%) say it is a vegan diet that avoids all animal products, including eggs and dairy. A similar percentage (30%) define it as a diet that emphasizes minimally processed foods that come from plants, with limited consumption of animal meat, eggs, and dairy. Another one in five (20%) believe it to be a vegetarian diet that avoids animal meat, while 8% say it is a diet in which you try to get as many fruits and vegetables as possible, with no limit on consuming animal meat, eggs, and dairy.</p> <p>Animal products are a more popular source of protein than plants, with 52% of Survey takers saying they eat animal protein at least once per day versus 34% who say they eat plant-based protein—but the tide may be turning. Within the past year, 24% of consumers reported eating more plant protein than the previous year, while only half as many (12%) said they ate more animal protein.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-05-28 05:54:10 | 2025-07-14 11:58:55 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 8500 | Taste event VLEESCH brings a fiery ode to the butcher's trade | On May 8, ArtCube in Ghent was ablaze with VLEESCH, a culinary event that paid tribute to the craft of butchery. VLAM and Ghent chef Sam D'Huyvetter provided a captivating evening with masterclasses and a culinary walk with meat from the region. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">It was not just an event. It was an experience that awakened your senses and deepened your respect for craftsmanship. From young talent to culinary visionaries: influencers, foodies and curious gourmets discovered together with stakeholders from the sector that butchers do not just cut meat – they tell stories, build flavors and embrace innovation. It is a craft that requires expertise and respect for the product.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Craftsmanship at work</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Two big names from the Flemish meat sector demonstrated their mastery during inspiring live masterclasses:</p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Master butcher Hendrik Dierendonck, ambassador of Belgian meat, gave a demonstration of cutting up a pig. A tribute to tradition, technique and the purity of the product.</li> <li>Father and daughter Luc and Axelle De Laet share a love for the butcher's trade. They impressed with their story about the anatomy and destination of beef, using parts of the hindquarter of a cow that was cut up on the spot. An educational moment that invited to re-evaluate each piece of meat.</li> </ul> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In between the sessions, visitors could enjoy a culinary walk along various food bars. Each creation focused on one meat element, with an emphasis on preparation method, flavour structure and origin. The result: a taste sensation in which meat from our region played the leading role.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Education, inspiration and awareness</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">VLEESCH makes it clear that the butcher's trade is in motion, with versatility and innovation as important pillars. "Everything starts with the product! As chefs and butchers, we need to be proud of our craft again. Understanding and processing the product. The art of cutting, boning and preparing is the purest form of craftsmanship and passion for the product," says chef Sam D'Huyvetter. "Consumers can also take something away from this event: whoever chooses meat from our region, chooses taste, technique and craftsmanship."</p> | 1 | Events | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-05-23 00:10:21 | 2025-07-14 22:52:59 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8447 | Tariff reduction expected to boost pork trade with South Korea | The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) celebrated the information provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock about the tariff exemption announced by South Korea for pork from Brazil. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">The exemption is valid on a quota of 10,000 tons of frozen pork (except for the “belly” product) for Asian destinations. Before that, the tariff imposed was 25% on the total value of the product.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, South Korea is the 16th main destination for Brazilian pork exports, with 3.7 thousand tons imported throughout the first quarter of this year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"The establishment of an exemption quota is an important sign of progress in Brazilian pork exports to South Korea, which was achieved by the Ministry of Agriculture. This is especially true amid negotiations led by Minister Carlos Fávaro and his secretariats of International Relations and Agricultural Defense, for the recognition of Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and other Brazilian states as free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination", explains ABPA president Ricardo Santin. Currently, only the state of Santa Catarina is authorized to send pork products to the South Korean market, as it is the only one with this recognized health status.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">A country with per capita consumption of around 29 kilos, South Korea is the world's fourth largest importer of pork. In 2024, the country imported 785 thousand tons, according to data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-05-05 00:20:27 | 2025-07-14 23:25:48 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 1984 | Tanzania's ban on poultry has raised the chicken price to $4.5 per kg | The East African country is confronted with a shortage of chicken meat as the domestic production covers only 85% of the market. | <p>Tanzania has played the card of protectionism in front of poultry imports and is now paying the price, literally. Retail price for chicken meat has risen sharply by more than 60%, months after the local government imposed a ban on poultry products imports from neighbouring countries in East Africa, reports <a href="https://allafrica.com/stories/201810010001.html">All Africa</a> magazine.<br />Hotels and food shops across the country are now feeling the effect as local producers have stopped production of day-old chicks, leading to a shortage of broilers and layers.<br />According to Manase Mrindwa, secretary general of the Tanzania Poultry Breeders Association, high taxation for imported parent-stock has limited the projected production of broilers for this year due to the fact that a single parent stock is sold now at a price of $5 to $10, which is far beyond the financial power of small farmers.<br />Due to the sortage of chicken meat in the market, prices for broiler have jumped in the last few month from $2.8 to $4.5 and the situation doesn't present an immediate solution as the domestic production covers only 85% of the demand. Two years ago, Tanzania banned the poultry imports from the US with the intention to protect the local farmers. At the same time, trade with neighbouring countries in East Africa was deteriorated when Tanzania declined to ratify a regional agreement which allows the East Africa Community (EAC) partner states to share veterinary services.<br />The failure by Tanzania to approve the Mutual Recognition Agreement for East African Vets, which came into force in 2016, has made it difficult for other EAC member states to export chicken to Tanzania.<br />The agreement provides that any EAC member state can import or export chicken and livestock within the region as long as the animals have been tested by a veterinary professional from any of the signatory countries.</p> | 1 | Market | 2018-10-01 14:41:56 | 2025-07-14 19:24:50 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 1423 | Tanzania lifts the ban on South African meat imports | Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA) has announced this week that the ban on imports of meat and meat products from South Africa has been lifted. | <p>TFDA had previously suspended imports from South Africa on March 7, 2018, due to the Listeriosis outbreak caused by contamination of several brands of meat products from South African companies.</p> <p>The Tanzanian authorities said in a statement that the ban is still in place for brands of meat products from the following companies: Enterprise Foods Polokwane (ZA 33), Enterprise Foods Germiston (ZA 126) and RCL Foods Consumer - Chicken (ZA 32) which were previously implicated with the Listeriosis outbreak.</p> <p>Furthermore, after conducting a thorough inspection, TFDA concluded that the implicated brands of products in the outbreak have not been present on the Tanzania market.</p> <p>"Results of laboratory analysis of the samples revealed that none of the samples had been contaminated with the causative bacterial," TFDA's statement read.</p> <p>TFDA said further that it will continue to conduct inspections and strengthen control of food imports.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-06-13 11:58:40 | 2025-07-14 23:44:26 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 4690 | Tanzania is working to regain access for beef in 7 African states | The country has the second-largest livestock population in Africa but is confronted with an ongoing FMD outbreak. | <p>Tanzania is ready to receive inspections from neighboring states such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, Botswana, Angola, Malawi and South Africa, in order to resume red meat exports to these markets. The country has an impressive livestock population of 33.4 million cattle, 21.29 million goats and 5.65 million sheep but in 2019 has lost access to markets in the Middle East and Africa due to multiple foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks.<br />However, seven African states have expressed their willingness to resume meat imports from Tanzania is several criteria regarding the containment of the disease are met. "Our team is working to see possible ways to meet the conditions set by these states. Once we submit our application, a team of experts from each state will come to the country to ascertain that we have met the minimum set of requirements to export meat and meat products to their market," declared Mashimba Ndaki, Minister for Livestock and Fisheries, in an interview for The Guardian.<br />In 2018, Tanzania exported sheep and goat meat to UAE, Oman, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Pakistan, Argentina, the United States and South Africa. However, the value of exports barely reached $4 million. Last year, the government presented a Master Plan for livestock to address the challenges facing the sector.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2021-05-17 08:53:14 | 2025-07-14 23:11:17 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 4015 | Taiwan turns to Paraguay for beef supplies | The South American nation has become the fourth-largest supplier of beef in the Taiwanese market in the first half of the year. | <p>Paraguay is considerably increasing its role as a beef supplier in the Taiwanese market thanks to political and diplomatic efforts. In the first half of the year, the South American nation has become the fourth-largest supplier of beef for Taiwan and is expected to grow its importance in this market.<br />In 2015, Taiwan imported just 2,104 tonnes of beef from Paraguay but this figure is expected to soar 10 times this year as a trade agreement signed between the two parts in 2018 is reducing tariffs for some products, including beef.<br />For Paraguay, Taiwan emerged as the third-largest destination for beef in the first 6 months of this year. Last year, Taiwan imported over 14,000 tonnes of beef from Paraguay and it could reach more than 20,000 tonnes this year considering the volumes imported so far (10,280 tonnes). At the end of July, Saudi Arabia and South Africa announced that are opening their markets for Paraguayan beef, which could bring some relief for the sector.</p> | 1 | Market | 2020-08-07 11:31:56 | 2025-07-14 20:10:30 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 2370 | Taiwan targeted as new market for US pork | USMEF recently conducted a series of US pork rib tasting events and cooking classes in partnership with Chi Mei Food, a major food company in Taiwan. | <p>If is not China, at least is Taiwan for US pork exporters! For two months, USMEF conducted a series of US pork rib tasting events and cooking classes in partnership with Chi Mei Food, a major food company in Taiwan.<br />Funded by the United Soybean Board, the USDA Market Access Program (MAP) and the National Pork Board, USMEF’s promotion took place at the Chi Mei Happiness Factory (CMHF), a facility in Tainan City that houses dining establishments and studios for cooking classes and food-related workshops.<br />CMHF is also equipped with on-site shopping facilities and regularly conducts tasting programs and educational sessions on food products. The US pork rib tasting sessions were held during peak hours, five days each week. People visiting CMHF were given samples and educated on the quality and value of grain-fed U.S. pork.</p> <p>“Ready-to-eat US pork ribs were prepared by Jin Ku Food, a large pork importer in Taiwan,” said Davis Wu, USMEF director in Taiwan. “This particular pork product had only been sold to the banquet and catering sectors, but USMEF worked with Jin Ku Food to launch the US pork ribs with retailers, with the goal of getting more Taiwanese consumers to try US pork and become regular customers. These tasting events were an important part of that effort.”</p> <p>Wu said that while pork consumption in Taiwan is very high, 90% of the pork consumed is domestic. “Despite the high consumption of pork in Taiwan, it is rare to see US pork products on display or on restaurant menus, as most of the imported US pork is supplied to the food processing sector,” explained Wu. “The lack of the visibility of US pork means consumers cannot connect its superior taste to the actual product and its origin. The popularity of the Happiness Factory in southern Taiwan made it the perfect place to reach the country’s meat lovers and people who cook at home for their families.”<br />According to USMEF data, October pork export volume was 207,725 mt, the largest since May but still 2% lower year-over-year, reflecting smaller variety meat exports. Export value ($536.5 million) was also the largest since May but still down 5% from a year ago. For January through October, pork exports were 1% above last year’s record pace at 2.02 million mt, while value was also up 1% to $5.33 billion. For pork muscle cuts only, January-October exports increased 5% from a year ago in volume (1.63 million mt), valued at $4.43 billion (up 2%).</p> <p>October exports accounted for 23.6% of total pork production, down from 25.4% a year ago. For muscle cuts only, the percentage exported was 20.7% – down from 21.6% in October 2017. For January through October, pork exports accounted for 25.8% of total production, down from 26.4% last year, but the percentage of muscle cuts exported increased from 22 to 22.5%. Export value per head slaughtered was down 10% from a year ago in October to $46.07. The January-October average was $51.74, down 2%. The decrease in US pork exports is due to the trade wars with China and Mexico started this year. Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO, believes that that upcoming trade negotiations with Japan are critical for the U.S. pork and beef industries, as all major competitors in the Japanese market will soon benefit from significant tariff reductions.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-12-21 09:42:30 | 2025-07-14 21:22:46 | Details Edit Delete |
