99	Brazilian poultry exports to rise by 5% in 2018	Brazilian poultry exports are expected to grow by 5% in 2018 due to an increase in demand for chicken meat. Also, many countries have been affected by Avian Influenza outbreaks, which led to bans on poultry and poultry products imports worldwide, according to USDA's 2017 Poultry and Products Annual Report.	<p> </p> <p>Although, Brazil's poultry exports suffered a lot from the meat scandal that broke in March 2017, "poultry exporters are cautiously optimistic that Brazil has recovered its reputation due to MAPA’s changes in their export system," the report shows.</p> <p>During the first semester of 2017, the bans related to poultry and poultry products that Brazil received from other countries had an enormous impact on exports, especially on the exports destined for the markets in the Middle East and Asia. However, the report says,  while exports decreased in terms of volume for CY 2017, "the value increased by 7% reflecting high world prices."</p> <p>USDA analysts forecast broiler production is set to rise in Brazil by 2.6% to 13.8 million tons in 2018 from 13.44 million tons in 2017, and are expected to grow by 6.45% compared to last year's 12.91 tons.</p> <p>In addition, USDA expects record corn and soya crops, which will result in better profit margins during 2018 and lower feed costs, "albeit an adverse exchange rate," and taking into account that corn and soyabean crops account for nearly 70% of the cost of producing broilers.</p>	1		Market	adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro	2017-08-22 17:18:36	2025-07-30 13:12:19	Details Edit Delete
152	Global organic beef meat market to rise at a 6.4% CAGR between 2017 and 2027		<p> </p> <p>Analysts at Future Market Insights have observed a significant rise in demand for process organic beef meat and expect the global sales to increase accounting for more than 75% revenue share from the whole organic beef market.</p> <p>“ The processed meat segment is estimated to be valued at about US$ 6,700 Mn by 2017 end and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period. The segment is expected to be valued at more than US$ 12 Bn by the end of 2027, creating an absolute $ opportunity of more than US$ 350 Mn in 2017 over 2016 and an incremental $ opportunity of more than US$ 6,000 Mn between 2017 and 2027,” the Future Market Insights statement read.</p> <p>On the other hand, by the end of 2017, the fresh organic beef meat will report sales estimated at just over 2.1 billion dollars.</p> <p>The dominant regions for organic beef consumption, the report says, will be North America and Western Europe, due to the fact that consumers in these areas are more health conscious which will lead to a high demand for organic food and beverages.</p> <p>Furthermore, the report expects that between 2017 and 2027 companies such as Tyson Foods, JBS Global, Danish crown and others will be the main players in the organic beef markets, while regional players and local players will account for a market share of 30%-35% and 20%-25% respectively. “These players largely operate in the U.S., U.K. and Australia markets and their major target audience includes consumers seeking organic processed meat.”</p> <p>The multinational producers will account for a share of nearly 40-45% of the global market for organic beef and will also be the price regulators at a global level.</p> <p>The analysts say that Latin America, Brazil, and Argentina are the leading countries in the production of organic beef due to the availability of natural resources. “For instance, in 2017, according to the report published by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) – both non-profit organizations – over 70% of the total organic agricultural land in Latin America constitutes permanent pasture land,” the report says.</p> <p>The report also presents key players partaking in the global organic beef meat market, which include JBS Global, Danish Crown, Tyson Foods Inc., Meyer Natural Foods, Perdue Farms, OBE Organic, Australian Organic Meats Group Pty Ltd., Eversfield Organic Ltd., Verde Farms, LLC, Blackwood Valley Beef, Arcadian Organic & Natural Meat CO Pty Ltd.</p>	1		Market		2017-09-08 12:00:54	2025-08-01 13:20:10	Details Edit Delete
986	Global artificial casings market to rise at $3,955.7 m by 2022	The global artificial casings market will reach $3,955.7 million by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2017 to 2022, according to Meticulous Research's latest report.	<p> </p> <p>Analysts at Meticulous Research say that the consumer preference for natural casings could restrict the growth of the natural casings market to some extent. Still, the rise in the global population will determine an increase in meat consumption and production. Also, we will witness more investments in the market by leading players due to an increasing preference among sausage manufacturers for artificial casings. The rise in the number of food restaurants chains and the operational challenges are the main factors that will determine more and more sausage producers to shift from natural casings to artificial ones.</p> <p>In 2016, according to the report, collagen casings accounted for the largest share in the casings market.</p> <p>“The cost to produce sausages by using collagen casings is significantly lower than making sausages in gut because of higher production speeds and lower labor requirements. This is the key reason behind the largest share of this segment in the global artificial casings market.”</p> <p>The region that will witness the most rapid growth in the global market, according to the report, it is expected to be Asia Pacific due to "rapidly increasing population and urbanization, growing popularity for western-style sausages, growing meat processing industry, and rising expenditure pattern."</p> <p>Emerging markets, such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa could provide the artificial casings producers with great opportunities, but these markets too shall witness restricted growth due to consumer preference for natural casings.</p>	1		Industry		2018-03-23 06:41:50	2025-08-01 08:28:35	Details Edit Delete

In contrast, Asia Pacific will hold the lowest share of the market during the forecast period," according to the Persistence Market Research's press release distributed on SBWire.</p> <p>Although pareve will continue to be the preferred raw material for kosher food, sales on this segment reaching 15,000 million dollars in 2017, according to the PMR forecast, in terms of revenue, process meat & poultry is projected to be the second largest segment of the kosher food market by 2025. Still, seafood application of kosher food will exhibit a comparatively low CAGR in the market.</p>	1		Market		2017-09-26 10:27:38	2025-08-01 05:35:21	Details Edit Delete
1083	USMEF: February beef exports surpassed year-ago levels	The US exported more beef in February than a year ago by 11 percent totaling 100,593 mt. Meanwhile, the export value increased by 18 percent to $599.8 million in the same period, according to statistics released by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and compiled by the US Meat Export Federation.	<p> </p> <p>Analysts at USMEF explained that although this was the lowest monthly value total since May 2017, it is the highest on record for the month of February.</p> <p>The export volume recorded between January and February went up 10 percent compared to the first two months from 2017 to 206,079 mt, while the export value in the same period was $1.22 billion, up by 20 percent compared to the levels from a year ago.</p> <p>Exports accounted for 13.6 percent of total beef production in February, up one full percentage point from a year ago. For muscle cuts only, the percentage exported was 10.8 percent (up from 10.1 percent last year). Through February, beef exports accounted for 13 percent of total production (up from 12.4 percent) and 10.4 percent for muscle cuts (up from 9.8 percent). February beef export value averaged $322.29 per head of fed slaughter, up 16 percent from a year ago. Through February, per-head export value averaged $306.69, up 15 percent.</p> <p>Chilled beef shipments to Japan, Korea and Taiwan drive export growth; Mexico and Hong Kong also trend higher</p> <p>Beef export volume to leading market Japan declined in February (20,314 mt, -15 percent year-over-year), as the frozen beef safeguard tariff (50 percent, up temporarily from 38.5 percent) contributed to a slowdown in frozen shipments. However, February export value to Japan was down only slightly at $133.4 million. Through February, total exports to Japan were 4 percent below last year’s volume pace at 44,282 mt, but still increased 9 percent in value to $282 million. This included an 18 percent increase in chilled beef exports to 22,809 mt, valued at $175 million (up 29 percent). Japan’s safeguard tariff on imports of frozen beef from the United States (and from other suppliers that do not have a free trade agreement with Japan) expired March 31, so the tariff rate for both frozen and chilled imports from the U.S. is now 38.5 percent. Japan’s tariffs on imports of Australian chilled and frozen beef edged slightly lower on April 1 and now stand at 29.3 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively, under the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement.</p> <p>Beef exports to South Korea maintained a torrid pace in February, increasing 24 percent from a year ago in volume (16,193 mt) and 31 percent in value ($112.4 million). Through February, exports to Korea climbed 18 percent in volume to 33,326 mt and were 32 percent above last year’s record value pace at $234.8 million. This included chilled beef exports of 7,231 mt (up 34 percent year-over-year) valued at $68 million (up 44 percent). U.S. beef is driving new consumption trends in Korea, where retailers and foodservice operators have intensified their focus on steak cuts and are highlighting features such as dry and wet aging. USMEF continues to educate the Korean meat trade and consumers about the quality and convenience of U.S. steaks in this increasingly protein-centric market.</p> <p>Through the first two months of 2018, other highlights for U.S. beef include:</p> <p>Exports to Mexico, which is a critical destination for beef rounds, shoulder clods and variety meat, were 10 percent above last year’s pace in volume (39,987 mt) and 19 percent higher in value ($175 million). This included an 11 percent increase in variety meat export volume (18,720 mt) and an impressive 36 percent jump in variety meat value ($44.4 million).</p> <p>Partly driven by demand for the Chinese New Year holiday, exports to Hong Kong jumped 41 percent in volume (22,807 mt) from a year ago and 61 percent in value ($168.6 million). Exports to China, which resumed in June 2017, totaled 1,187 mt valued at $11.1 million.</p> <p>In Taiwan, an outstanding destination for chilled U.S. beef, exports increased 25 percent from a year ago in volume (8,106 mt) and 42 percent in value ($78.2 million). Chilled exports to Taiwan were up 53 percent in volume (3,800 mt) and 61 percent in value ($48 million) as the U.S. holds 72 percent of Taiwan’s chilled beef market.<br />Exceptional growth in Chile and Colombia pushed exports to South America up 68 percent year-over-year in volume (5,296 mt) and 62 percent in value ($25.2 million). Exports to Brazil, which resumed in April of last year, totaled 215 mt valued at $2 million.</p> <p>Strong performances in Indonesia and Vietnam pushed beef exports to the ASEAN region 42 percent ahead of last year’s pace in volume (6,794 mt) and 34 percent higher in value ($36.7 million). The region is especially strong for beef variety meat, with exports up 74 percent in volume (2,008 mt) and 93 percent in value ($4.4 million).<br />Strong growth in Angola and steady volumes to South Africa pushed beef exports to Africa up 26 percent year-over-year in volume (1,981 mt) and 77 percent higher in value ($3.1 million).</p> <p> </p>	1		Market		2018-04-12 16:37:37	2025-08-01 12:06:08	Details Edit Delete
308	The global pork production expected to rise by 2% in 2018	The global production of pork is forecast to increase by almost 2% in 2018, reaching 113.1 million tons and being based mainly on expansion in China and to a lesser extent the United States, according to the latest "Livestock & Poultry: World Markets & Trade" report released recently by the US Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).	<p> </p> <p>Analysts from FAS expect China's pork production to rise for the second consecutive year as producers respond to positive returns.</p> <p>"Additions to the sow herd and higher finished weights will both drive production during 2018," the USDA statement read.</p> <p>Output in Russia, the Philippines and Mexico will report a boost due to a robust consumer demand for pork.</p> <p>Due to a stagnant domestic market and export sales, the only major producer to reduce output will be the European Union.</p> <p>When referring to global pork exports, the FAS analysts expect an increase of nearly 3% in 2018 driven by strong demand from Mexico, the Philippines, and South America (Argentina, Chile and Colombia) where competitive prices support gains in per capita consumption.</p> <p>The top importer is expected to remain China, but analysts warn that shipments will fall for the second consecutive year due to rising domestic production.</p> <p>The European Union will remain the largest exporter, with shipments reaching 2.8 million tons. Still, this export growth will be challenged by declining shipments to China and an appreciating euro.</p> <p>In the US, production is forecasted to go up by 4% in 2018, continuing strong growth in 2017.</p> <p>"Producers have responded to robust domestic and export<br />demand by farrowing more sows while the number of pigs per litter is at record levels. Continued production growth is expected to pressure hog prices in 2018 and help spur a near 5-<br />percent gain in exports," according to FAS.</p> <p>The main market for the US pork shipment will remain Mexico, aided by relatively high domestic prices. Analysts say that exports will also remain resilient to Asia, especially to Japan and the Philippines.</p>	1		Industry		2017-10-17 14:00:32	2025-08-01 14:30:51	Details Edit Delete
324	FAS: The global broiler meat to report modest increase in 2018	The global broiler meat production is forecast to rise by 1% in 2018 to 91.3 million tons, the increase being mainly based on the gains in the United States, Brazil, India, and the European Union, according to the latest "Livestock & Poultry: World Markets & Trade" report released recently by the US Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).	<p> </p> <p>Analysts from FAS say that the growth reported in broiler production from the United States and Brazil is driven by higher exports while the increase in production from the European Union and India are due to slow but steady growth in domestic demand.</p> <p>"China’s production is forecast down 5% in 2018 for the third year in a row. China continues to be constrained by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), the limited availability of genetics, a saturated market, weak prices, and soft demand," the FAS report read.</p> <p>Global broiler meat exports to increase by 3%</p> <p>In 2018, according to the report, global exports of broiler meat are expected to rise by 3% to 11.4 million tons.</p> <p>As Brazil recovers from a slow first half of 2017 following quality issues, exports are forecast almost 4% higher in 2018. Brazil’s growing exports are driven by rebounding product competitiveness and key competitors negatively impacted by avian influenza-related trade restrictions.</p> <p>China’s imports are forecast up nearly 7% as production continues to struggle. Brazil is well-situated to strengthen shipments to China and further expand its market share.</p> <p>Production in the United States is set to rise 2% to a record 19.0 million tons in 2018, while exports will rise by 3% to nearly 3.2 million tons.</p> <p>Starting with August 2017, the United States was declared HPAI free and, according to the analysts at FAS, higher production will be supported by growing domestic consumption, rising export demand from Mexico, and improved shipments to other primary markets.</p> <p><img src="/files/pictures/article/Broiler%20meat%20global%20production%20USDA.png?1508762161506" alt="Broiler meat global production USDA" width="100%" /></p> <p><em>Source: the US Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)</em></p> <p><em>Photo Source: USDA / Wikimedia Commons</em></p>	1		Industry		2017-10-24 06:44:44	2025-08-01 13:15:23	Details Edit Delete
329	China's broiler meat production expected to decline in 2018	The broiler meat production in China is forecast to decline by 5% to 11 million tons in 2018, according to the latest "Livestock & Poultry: World Markets & Trade" report released recently by the US Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).	<p> </p> <p>Analysts from FAS say this fall in production comes after declines in 2017 and 2016 of 6 and 8%, respectively as the country continues to struggle with recurring HPAI outbreaks.</p> <p>Referring to the Chinese producers, the FAS report indicates that the impact of the HPAI outbreaks on producers varied, some reporting only minor impacts, due to<br />improved biosecurity, while others have incurred higher losses due to depopulation, closures of traditional wet markets, and soft consumer demand.</p> <p>The recent outbreaks of the H7N9 strain have primarily occurred in wet markets where yellow-feathered birds are predominantly sold.<br />In an effort to curb further spread of HPAI, the Chinese government has closed poultry sections at multiple wet markets. Because consumers prefer yellow-feathered birds based on taste and texture, wet market closures have constrained a marketing channel for these birds. As the stagnant broiler market continues, demand for traditional yellow-feathered birds will remain lethargic.</p>	1		Industry		2017-10-24 12:40:08	2025-08-01 10:27:38	Details Edit Delete
5625	UK pork exports to the USA reach almost £11.6m	America is now the third biggest export market for the UK pork sector, with shipments having nearly doubled in value compared with last year, according to AHDB.	<p> </p> <p>Analyzing the latest figures from HMRC, in the first four months of the year, pork exports to the USA were worth almost £11.6 million – rising from £6.3 million in 2021. Between January and April this year, the volume of pork exports has increased nearly 60%, with shipments up from 2,202 to to 3,484 to.</p> <p>“America has become an increasingly valuable market for UK red meat, particularly pork, with exports rising month-on-month this year, and strong domestic demand is expected to persist. The UK has world-class food and farming standards, and our pork is of high quality and competitively priced, all of which drives demand in the US. And with our strong food safety credentials, pork from the UK continues to be highly regarded in overseas markets. Also, the UK’s success in reducing antibiotic usage in the pork sector has helped differentiate our products and is highly regarded by consumers in America. All of this is helping to grow our pork exports in this hugely important market,” said Susana Morris, Senior Export Manager for the Americas.</p> <p>America is a key target market for the export team, with work ongoing to raise the profile of pork, beef and lamb from the UK to buyers across the country.</p> <p>In March, AHDB hosted 40 key influencers at a meat and cheese tasting event in Los Angeles. Guests were given the opportunity to sample pork and beef from the UK, as well as meet with exporters to learn more about our country’s high animal welfare standards and traceability.</p> <p>In June, the export team met with one of Mexico’s biggest meat processors to explore opportunities to start shipping pork from the UK. Senior leaders from SuKarne took part in a two-day mission to London to hear from experts at AHDB, government officials and pork processors about a range of topics – including antibiotic usage, production methods and our export capabilities.</p> <p>The export team will also be exhibiting at the Espacio Food and Service Show in Chile in September, to promote UK pork in this new market which opened in March of this year, in a move estimated to be worth £20 million in the first five years of trade.</p> <p> </p>	1		Market	adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro	2022-08-08 04:52:50	2025-08-01 12:56:17	Details Edit Delete

160	The European pig prices remain unchanged in the first week of September		<p> </p> <p>Apart from in Germany, unchanged quotations are also reported on from the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Austria. According to reports from the association of Austrian agricultural improvement producers, pigs for slaughter are even very much in demand in Austria.</p> <p>The pigs-for-slaughter prices still are tending to be weak in the Southern countries, such as Spain, France and in Great Britain. After the very hot summer temperatures in Spain, more live animals are on offer for sale there again. The seasonal price decrease is continuing. Spanish exporters are expecting competition on the pork export market to quite severe from the USA.</p> <p>The French pigs-for-slaughter market remains rather negative. After the latest price reduction (a corrected 3.6 cents), the corrected quotation meanwhile is amounting to 1.58 euros per kg slaughter weight.  Thus, the French quotation is moving the same way as is the Dutch quotation which has borne the red light most recently in the European price structure of the five EU member countries most significant in pig keeping. Within just seven weeks, the French corrected quotation has gone down by almost 11 cents. Much pressure has been exerted for quite some while on the prices in meat trade. As states a French market participant, ham sales above all are facing a lot of trouble.</p>	1		Industry	adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro	2017-09-11 07:10:00	2025-07-31 23:54:43	Details Edit Delete
290	Anuga's 2017 edition reported record results	The 34th edition of the world's largest food trade fair ended with a record number of visitors, 165,000 trade visitors from 198 countries respectively, and more than 7,400 exhibitors from 107 countries, which presented products from all over the world and all categories over the course of five days.	<p> </p> <p>Around 165,000 trade visitors from 198 countries took advantage of this unique offer for sourcing, information, and ordering at a top level.</p> <p>"Anuga is the world's biggest and most important business platform for the international food industry," Gerald Böse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Koelnmesse, commented towards the end of the event. "The trade fair brings the global supply and demand together very precisely. With its clear concept and focus on relevant themes, it is a reliable marketplace for the global food world for customers from Germany and abroad."</p> <p>In addition to the high level of internationality, which characterized the picture of the trade fair on all days, the quality of the visitors was once again outstanding. For example, Executive Directors and top buyers from leading global trading companies were registered. The out-of-home market was also represented by international teams in Cologne as well as decision-makers from the major online trading companies. The trade fair was opened by the NRW Minister, Christina Schule Föcking. The honorary guest at the opening was the Indian Minister for the Food Processing Industries, I.E. Smt. Harsimrat Kaur Badal. India was the partner country of Anuga 2017.</p> <p>"Once again we have experienced a record-setting Anuga," remarked Friedhelm Dornseifer, President of the German Association of the German Retail Grocery Trade (BVLH). "The high interest from the international food industry proves that the trade fair is a must-attend event in the diaries of the food manufacturers and buyers. Anyone, who wants to get a picture of how the world will eat and drink today and in the future, has come to the right place at Anuga every time. Besides the presentation of innovative products, the latest trends in trading with food were also the key focus of the trade fair. And these are digital. The customers will become more and more increasingly omnishoppers. They expect a networked buying experience, where the bricks-and-mortar trade, online media and the usage of mobile device all merge into one. But the digitalization is not going to lead to the end of the supermarket. The consumers will continue to visit the shops to buy foodstuffs using all of their senses. Each technological advance that supports the retail trade in providing its customers with the corresponding offers is very welcome."</p> <p>The Chairman, Dr. Wolfgang Ingold, summed it up for the Federation of German Food and Drink Industries (BVE): "Today, growth in the food industry is only possible through exports. Every third Euro is already now earned abroad. As the world's largest and most important trade fair for food and beverages, Anuga is thus also the biggest and most important platform for the export business of the German food industry. The German food manufacturers were once again this year able to impressively demonstrate that they have plenty more to offer than enjoyment - they are namely also the leaders in terms of quality, safety and diversity! That is also the reason why our food industry is among the TOP 3 export nations with a turnover of Euro 56.7 billion in the export business. Innovations play a central role in retaining this leading position. We are more innovative than any other branch of industry: Every year over 40,000 new products are introduced onto the market in Germany alone. Hence, Anuga is also the global leading trade fair of innovations."</p> <p>"Anuga demonstrated anew in the year 2017 its huge relevance, appeal, and charisma for our entire industry," emphasized Guido Zöllick, President of the German Association, DEHOGA. "Over the course of five fully-packed trade fair days, it was the unique source of inspiration for F&B trends, new products and forward-looking technologies for food professionals from all over the globe."</p> <p>They were all there: The registration data of Anuga shows that the entire trade was present in Cologne, both from Germany and abroad. They included Aeon, Ahold, AlbertHeijn, Aldi, Auchan, Carrefour, Coop, Costco, dm, Edeka, Globus, Hofer, Jumbo, Kroger, Metro, Migros, Müller, Norma, Rewe, Rossmann, Sainsbury, Sams Club, Schwarz Group, Sobeys, Spar, Target, Tesco and Walmart. Amazon and JD.com were present from the online trade. Furthermore, buyers from numerous specialized online platforms were also among the visitors of Anuga. Important importers and international wholesalers also traveled to Cologne to attend the trade fair.</p> <p>Important buyer groups from the out-of-home market (food service, communal catering, system gastronomy companies) were also welcomed at Anuga, among others Autobahn Tank & Rast GmbH, CHEFS CULINAR, Gourmet International, Ikea, LSG (Supply Chain Sarl), Sysco (USA), SPCgroup (Korea), Transgourmet and YORMA'S AG.<br />Furthermore, it became evident again at Anuga that the trade fair is an indispensable sourcing platform: Many exhibitors were able to address their customers from the processing industry directly and conclude important contract transactions.</p> <p>"This response shows that business is done in Cologne, what's more across all channels, from the classic trade to the various categories of the out-of-home market. And that at the top and also international level," stated Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse.</p> <p>The share of foreign participants was high both among the exhibitors (90% foreign exhibitors) as well as among the visitors. The foreign share of visitors increased up to 75 percent (2015: 68 percent). "The growing number of buyers from abroad is clearly noticeable from the increased number of visitors," explained Katharina C. Hamma. As usual, the attendance from the EU countries and Switzerland was high. An increase in the number of visitors was particularly recorded from Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands. More visitors also attended from the USA and Canada. The attendance from China, Japan and the partner country, India, was also very good. More visitors were counted from South Ameria too, especially from Brazil, Peru, and Uruguay. There was also an increase in the number of visitors from the Near East and states of North Africa, i.e. from Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Tunisia. More people visited Anuga from South Africa as well this year.</p> <p>The export-oriented food industry was thus able to reach an international and first-class trade audience at Anuga. The innovations, which as always were a key focus of Anuga, contributed towards providing the industry with new impulses and ideas. These trend themes included food and beverages that are rich in protein, new products on the theme "superfoods" and numerous new ready-to-go/ready-to-eat ideas. Sustainable concepts, as well as organic products, were still high in demand, vegetarian and vegan themes were also a major focus. Alternative sources of protein like insects were a theme of intense discussion among the media.</p> <p>Anuga in figures:<br />7,405 companies from 107 countries took part in Anuga 2017 on exhibition space covering 284,000 m². These included 716 exhibitors from Germany and 6,689 exhibitors from abroad. The share of foreign exhibitors was 90 percent. Around 165,000 trade visitors from 198 countries attended Anuga 2017, the foreign share was 75 percent.</p> <p>The next Anuga will take place from 5 to 9 October 2019.</p>	1		Industry		2017-10-12 18:21:19	2025-07-31 21:02:51	Details Edit Delete
454	SSA: NARMS should include seafood in its drug resistance monitoring program	The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) urged the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to add fish and seafood on the list of products that is surveilled through the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS).	<p> </p> <p>As currently organized, NARMS allows the public to access data regarding incidents of detection of antimicrobial resistant pathogens for seven different bacterium (including salmonella, e.coli, and campylobacter) related to cattle, swine, chicken, and turkey products. No seafood products are currently covered by the monitoring system, according to SSA.</p> <p>The group that represents shrimp fishermen and processors in the southern US says that seafood products should be also monitored after a research showed the presence of resistant Salmonella in imported shrimp.</p> <p>A Science Board review of NARMS, completed in June, observed that there was “interest in expanding monitoring to fish and other seafood, such as tilapia, salmon and shrimp.” The Science Board recommended sampling seafood along with other meat products.</p> <p>The members of the Southern Shrimp Alliance are increasingly concerned by the prevalent use of antimicrobials in shrimp aquaculture outside of the United States. As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appropriately recognizes, the presence of certain antimicrobial residues in food products creates health risks for consumers. This, in turn, adversely impacts<br />consumer confidence in shrimp products available for consumption in the US market.</p> <p>SSA says that because the US regulatory system for country-of-origin labeling is weak – with no such requirements in place for food purchased and consumed in restaurants – any reduction in consumer confidence has<br />a direct negative effect on the market for US wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp.</p> <p>Furthermore, SSA says that a coalition group called "Keep Antibiotics Working" also supports the expansion of the monitoring program to “incorporate sampling of imported foods, including imported animal feed, feed ingredients, and seafood, into NARMS.”</p> <p>Keep Antibiotics Working is composed of the Center for Food Safety; John Hopkins Center for a Livable Future; the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center, the George Washington University; the Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention; Food Animal Concerns Trust (FACT); the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG); The Humane Society of the United States; the Humane Society Legislative Fund; and Natural Resources Defense Council.</p> <p>Keep Antibiotics Working observed that “there is ample evidence that there are different antibiotic resistance risks between countries with some countries having much higher level of clinically important resistance in bacteria from meat and seafood.” Accordingly, the coalition “recommends sampling seafood” while emphasizing “examining imported food for seafood [as] this means most seafood marketed in the U.S. since most is imported.”</p>	1		Industry		2017-11-28 10:00:02	2025-08-01 09:48:52	Details Edit Delete
1183	M&S launches new beef traceability campaign in UK	British retailer Marks & Spencer has launched a new food marketing campaign that focuses on beef traceability.	<p> </p> <p>As highlighted in the campaign, M&S is the only national retailer in the UK that can trace every piece of beef it sells – whether it’s in a prepared meal, a sandwich or a prime cut – all the way back to every farm and animal from which it is sourced.</p> <p>The “We trace it, so you can trust it” campaign is backed by DNA sampling provided by Dublin-based tech company Identigen. Thousands of tests are carried out every year to check that M&S’ unique standards are being followed.</p> <p>And in support of British farming, the ads also carry a Union Jack flag highlighting to customers that every piece of M&S beef is British.</p> <p>M&S uses DNA sampling to trace its beef back to every farm and animal. A sample is taken from every animal from every farm that supplies M&S and its suppliers. Thousands of tests are carried out every year on products taken at random from M&S stores and warehouses. The tests check that beef is moving through the supply chain – from farm, to abattoir to processor and to store – correctly and that M&S standards are being followed.</p>	1		Retail		2018-04-28 12:13:39	2025-08-01 12:31:39	Details Edit Delete

887	Irish winter finishers need beef prices to rise	The National Livestock Chairman from the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) Angus Woods says cattle prices need to rise a lot more in order to leave a positive return for winter finishers.	<p> </p> <p>At current low prices, finishers are in loss-making territory.</p> <p>Angus Woods said this week factories are paying a base price of €3.95 for steers and €4.05 for heifers. Mr. Woods said some prices above these level have been negotiated with a base of €4.07 and €4.08 plus transport paid for heifers. He said supplies are being disrupted by the weather difficulties and some feeders close to plants that can guarantee supplies are being offered more.</p> <p>The IFA Livestock leader said last week’s supply of adult cattle was just over 34,000 head and demand has also picked up well since January.</p> <p>Mr. Woods added cull cow prices were rising in the UK market reflecting the strong trade in manufacturing beef.</p>	1		Industry		2018-03-03 13:47:20	2025-08-01 11:12:45	Details Edit Delete
4550	Australia remains the largest exporter of goatmeat	The value of Australian goatmeat exports totaled $112.3 million in 2020, down 38% from 2019 levels.	<p> </p> <p>Australian goat production eased for the third year in a row, totalling 16,357 tonnes carcase weight (cwt). However, this was somewhat offset by an increase in average carcase weights, which lifted 10% year-on-year, to 15.6kg/head in 2020.<br />According to Food and Agriculture Organisation data, Australia is not a large producer of goatmeat globally but is the biggest player in the global goat meat trade. Australia exported approximately 95% of production in 2020, with exports totalling 14,147 tonnes shipped weight (swt). The US received 60% of Australian exports in 2020, with Taiwan, South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago and Canada also representing important markets.<br />Live goat exports accounted for only 5% of total export value in 2020, totalling $3.9 million. After reaching record levels in 2019, goat over-the-hooks prices remained historically high in 2020, peaking at 917¢/kg cwt in early March and averaging 819¢/kg for the year. Prices stabilised in late May and tracked below year-ago levels for the remainder of 2020.<br />Goatmeat is widely consumed globally but remains a niche protein in many markets. Per capita consumption of goatmeat varies greatly between countries, with culture and local production being major factors influencing diet. Population growth and increasing household wealth underpin a positive outlook for global red meat consumption, though unfamiliarity and availability of goatmeat remain major barriers to new consumers.</p>	1		Industry		2021-03-19 12:03:45	2025-08-01 16:26:48	Details Edit Delete
