| 4988 | New Belgian animal welfare built on BePork standard | Belpork, the Belgian standard owner of the BePork quality scheme for pork, has developed an animal welfare standard for the Belgian pork sector. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">BePork is a guarantee for high-quality Belgian pork. The standard includes a set of norms that are more stringent than Belgian legislation. It focuses on animal health, animal welfare, sustainability, food safety and traceability and has been designed for the entire supply chain of pork production, going from the level of livestock farmers over transport companies to slaughterhouses and cutting plants.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The new top-up for animal welfare builds on the generic BePork standard and implies far-reaching extralegal norms that are solely aimed at improving animal welfare. In addition to the primary sector, the slaughterhouses are also covered. The transport stage is already extensively covered in the BePork specifications and is therefore not dealt with separately in this module. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This cross-stage approach to animal welfare is not commonplace in international comparison, as many other animal welfare systems at home and abroad are mainly limited to the stage of the primary sector.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Belpork examined the criteria on farming level of other international quality schemes in advance to this initiative and came to the conclusion that the new Belgian animal welfare module is in no way inferior to other systems. Thanks to BePork's complete, cross-stage traceability system, customers could find out at the point of sale which animal welfare criteria the product meets and thus make a conscious purchasing decision.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Belgian module is not a rigid system. Thus - analogous to the systems in other countries - higher husbandry levels are possible in addition to the entry level. The module offers sufficient opportunity for food retailers to distinguish themselves by means of their own accents.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Animal welfare in Belgium is the responsibility of the three regions of Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region. However, the new module is open to the whole of Belgium. This is a good and important signal. In addition, under the leadership of the Flemish Minister for Agriculture, Hilde Crevits, the politicians are planning to pave the way for all other farm animal species to join the voluntary system in the future. This will take time, but the most important thing is that the framework is in place', says Liesbet Pluym, Belpork coordinator.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The animal welfare module, from which the livestock farmers expect better profits, is almost fully operational. There are still some bureaucratic hurdles to overcome before the new transparent Belgian animal welfare label can be officially launched, but 'The light at the end of the tunnel can already be seen', assures the coordinator.</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2021-10-06 09:06:23 | 2025-08-10 22:33:07 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 4195 | Vietnam and US pork producers signs trade deal worth $500 million | The Vietnam Trade Alliance, a group of buyers and producers from the Asian country, signed a pact to acquire up to $500 million in US pork in three years. | <p>Smithfield and other North American producers of pork will have access to the Vietnamese market in the next three years. A memorandum of understanding called the "US-Vietnam Pork Consortium" was signed with Smithfield Foods and other North American protein producers during the virtual event Indo-Pacific Business Forum. According to the agreement, the Vietnam Trade Alliance will acquire up to $500 million in US pork over the next three years.<br />Pork accounts for three-quarters of total meat consumption in Vietnam, a country of 96 million people. Since February last year, Vienat is fighting multiple ASF outbreaks that wiped out almost 20% of the national swine inventory. The Southeast Asian country is currently rebuilding its herd, in May, officials from Hanoi announcing the purchase of 20,000 females of the animal from Thailand. However, the live pig imports have been disrupted by the recent floodings in the country, which caused heavy losses in life and property with about 700,000 animals died including 50,000 pigs in the provinces Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Thua Thien Hue and Quang Tri.<br />According to summarised data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, as of the end of September, the total number of pigs nationwide is about 25.5 million, equivalent to 82% compared to before the African Swine Fever.<br />So far 43,150 pigs, the equivalent of 2,157 tonnes of meat, have been culled and destroyed in Vietnam in an attempt to stop the ASF virus from spreading. In the last three weeks, outbreaks have been confirmed in 199 villages, and small cities in the provinces of Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Bac Kan, as reported by the Vietnam News Agency, citing sources from Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.<br />Currently, the Southeast Asian country is relying on imports to cover the deficit of pork appeared in the domestic market. The Vietnam Trade Alliance will buy chilled and frozen pork from the US, as well as derived products for processing and distribution on the Vietnamese market, the statement said. Vietnam's imports of pork from the US advanced to $35 million in the first eight months of this year, up from $4 million in 2015.n"This export activity will help increase total US agricultural product exports to Vietnam and address the US-Vietnam trade imbalance, in addition to directly supporting US farmers, ranchers and processing companies," said the US embassy in Hanoi, quoted by Reuters.</p> | 1 | Market | 2020-10-30 06:24:13 | 2025-08-10 22:33:32 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 2259 | Gobarto plans to export pork to the US by 2020 | "The American market is very important for Polish pork export", explains Marcin Sliwinski, the new president of Polish Gobarto SA. | <p>Polish company Gobarto wants to enter the US pork market by 2020, considering this step to be more profitable than exports to other EU members states. In the first 8 months of 2018, Poland exported 43,000 tonnes of pork to the US market, accounting for 13.5% of the country's total pork exports.<br />It is no wonder that Polish pork producers are targeting this market as the ASF outbreaks have reduced the number of export destinations lately.<br />"The American market is very important for Polish pork export. We are currently in the process of adaptation. Obtaining export rights to the United States is a very long and time-consuming process. A lot depends on the Polish veterinary services in this process, which is why we focus on cooperation and any arrangements with them. It is not a secret that obtaining permissions requires very time-consuming and expensive investments. According to the adopted schedule, in the absence of any delays or difficulties, we should obtain export rights by mid-2020", mentioned Marcin Sliwinski, the new president of Polish Gobarto SA, in an interview for Portal Spozywczy magazine.<br />Export of Polish pork has become difficult due to the presence of ASF virus in the country, which closes access to such markets as China or Korea. <br />"I will mention that China is by far the largest consumer of this meat in the world with consumption more than double that in the entire European Union (data of the US Department of Agriculture - forecast for the whole of 2018). Japan (6th) and Korea (9th) are also in the top ten. Currently, our export is based mainly on the European Union and several other countries that have accepted the regionalization of ASF in Poland. Recently, the Czechs have decided that any transport of pork from countries affected by ASF will be controlled in order to detect the presence of this virus. The delivery will be accepted on the domestic market after being proved in the authorized laboratory that the test result is negative. Let me remind you that we are the third largest supplier of pork to this country. For this reason, the United States is such an important market for us", added Mr. Sliwinski.<br />The latest forecast for pork consumption in the US, released by the USDA, confirms an upward trend in this market, with a 5% increase in pork consumption for 2019.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-11-28 14:13:12 | 2025-08-10 22:34:00 | Details Edit Delete | ||

Currently, The Chinese grocery market is the world's second-largest but it will overtake the US market (No. 1) in 2023, analysts said.<br />"With GDP growth ahead of inflation, the economic growth in China is forecast to be, driven by real increase in output rather than rising prices. *By nominal GDP, China has the largest economy in Asia. It is also the only major economy with positive GDP growth in 2020. The country has adopted a strict zero-COVID policy since the pandemic was brought under control in late February 2020. The grocery growth forecast is to remain robust but lower than historical levels. The growth peak in 2018 and 2019 was largely driven by the emergence of new retail and adoption of digital technology,", says the IGD report</p> <p><img src="/files/pictures/article/China%20grocery%20market.jpg?1642411753009" alt="China grocery market" height="100%" /></p> <p>Five key trends will support this growth, according to IGD analysts.</p> <p>- Ongoing urbanisation: demand for convenience and efficiency continues to drive technology development, change how people shop and influence store formats that retailers are focusing on, for example community stores and premium supermarkets.<br />- Big data: ecommerce players in China can track purchase behaviour from their hundreds of millions of shoppers to help play to consumer eating habits by giving advise to farmers on what to plant and help reduce waste<br />- Growth in lower-tier cities: as shoppers in less developed areas have become increasingly sophisticated and used to online shopping, they want better products, higher quality, and more inspirational brands<br />- Emergence of wholesale: Alibaba has triggered the emergence of wholesale sector in China with its Freshippo X store, launched in 2020. To revive performance of big-box stores, retailers (e.g. Yonghui, Renrenle & Carrefour) are converting exiting stores into wholesale-style formats<br />- Increased awareness of sustainability: environmental friendliness is playing an increasingly important role in Chinese shoppers’ purchase decisions. China has made a bold and ambitious pledge to reach peak carbon emission by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2060.<br />Modern trade is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.0%, with development driven by online and convenience channels. Traditional trade will continue to be a vital part of the industry in China, providing food security for rural areas and many smaller cities. However, modern trade in China is very fragmented.

| 786 | Danish Crown is ready to open a plant in China | The facility established in Pinghu, near Shanghai, will be fully operational in the second half of 2019. | <p>Europe's largest pork processor, Danish Crown it's getting its mark on China meat industry by building a plant in Pinghu, a town situated at approximately 100 km from Shanghai. The facility will be opened in the summer of 2019 and it is expected to produce 14,000 tonnes of processed products annually meant to satisfy the demand for 25 million people in the region.</p> <p>The group is planning this investment since 2016 as the consumer pattern in China started to look more promising. "Actually three things are happening: Firstly, much of the consumption is moving into food service or restaurants similar to the USA or Europe. Secondly, we see a vast increase of e-Commerce where groceries are bought and delivered at home. This is growing immensely in China and cities such as Shanghai likely have the world’s most advanced e-Commerce market. The third trend is that consumers in supermarkets have also started buying retail packed products precisely as we know from Denmark", explained Jais Valeur, CEO Danish Crown Group.</p> <p>The investment is to reach 40.2 million euros and it will help the company to have a very strong set up in the Chinese market. "This is one of the chances we should take as a big company and try to see if we can get closer to the market, closer to consumers and further up in the value chain in China – rather than just being a raw material supplier", declared Valeur.</p> <p>Lately, Danish Crown Group has received a green light to export processed products in China.

| 6854 | EU trade balance remains stable in July despite slowdown in agri-food trade | In July 2023, both imports and exports slowed down compared with June 2023. This did not impact the EU’s trade balance in agri-food products which stayed positive at €6.2 billion. The cumulative trade balance from January to July 2023 reached € 38.6 billion, which is even higher by € 7.3 billion compared with the same period last year. | <p><span lang="DE">The EU’s agri-food trade is performant and well diversified, as shown in a European Commission’s report published earlier this month. Nevertheless, for certain commodities, some few partner countries represent a large share of EU exports or imports, which could lead to market instability in case trade flows are interrupted. Overall, the EU's position as the world’s top exporter and one of the top importers of agri-food products allows for balanced trade relations with third countries.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">While the monthly value of EU agri-food exports in July were below their level in July last year, EU exports are still strong. The cumulative EU exports from January to July this year reached €133.5 billion, representing a 5% rise over the same time in 2022. This was driven mostly by growth in the exports of cereal preparations (+€1.5 billion, +12%), and fruit and nut preparations (+€ 1.2 billion, +21%). Exported volumes of vegetable oils, oilseeds and protein crops, and cereals also increased by 35%, 16% and 11% respectively compared to 2022.</span></p> <p><span lang="DE">In terms of destinations, a significant increase of exports to Türkiye can be noticed, with a value of € 846 million (+38%).

| 3686 | After the Chinese blockade, is Europe's turn to lockdown | The increasing number of coronavirus cases is threatening the global economy and may start a recession in the EU. | <p>The global trade is facing heavy winds as the coronavirus epidemics started in China is going to create a whirlwind that could wipe out between $1,000 billion and $2,000 billion from the global economy, according to the latest UN CATD estimates. Even if the situation in China looks far better than a month ago, the virus is now spreading fast across other regions and raises new obstacles in trade, creating waves of uncertainty and panic even in the EU single market.</p> <p><br />Italy has been the first country to lockdown in front of a severe coronavirus outbreak. By now, only modern retail and some hotel restaurants have remained open limiting the food import volumes to the country and blocking some exports as well. However, the chain of supply is capable to cover the domestic demand, although shipments to other countries are hampered by procedures for containing COVID-19 taken by different EU member states. " At the moment the distribution of products on the domestic market is guaranteed without interruption, and there are no problems in the supply chain of raw materials.<br />On the other hand, it is difficult to transport our products to Northern Europe because of Austria's procedures for containing covid 19. In particular, temperature measurement to all truck drivers from Italy created lines up to 100KM at the Brennero border.</p> <p>Difficulties in the delivery of goods to different Eastern countries were also highlighted, because of restrictive measures put in place to enter those countries," mentioned Laura Falasconi from the Economic Office of ASSICA Italy.</p> <p>- Spain and Greece have decided to postpone trade fairs in their countries due to a possible exposure to infected visitors from around the world and a spike in coronavirus cases reported over the last two weeks.

The same situation of undisrupted supply chain of food, meat especially, is confirmed in the Basque Country by Marcel Martin, the owner of a butcher shop in the region. Nevertheless, exports of meat to France and Italy have suffered in the last few days, with transportation obstacles raised in front of Spanish importers due to preventive measures taken to stop the virus from spreading.<br />- Ireland has decided to follow Italy's example and to lockdown until March 29. So far, the authorities have announced a plan to secure the supply chain for the local retailers but the horeca industry is expected to take a hit. Several other countries such as Hugary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Denmark has also shut down their borders or applied restrictive measures for travellers and transporters. France is still considering to do that in the next couple of days.</p> <ul> <li>In the US, animal breeders are worried about the lack of personnel in their farms due to preventive measures adopted by the federal government and the decision to close schools.<br />"The specter of market-ready hogs with nowhere to go is a nightmare for every pork producer in the nation. It would result in severe economic fallout in rural communities and a major animal welfare challenge," said National Pork Producers Council (NPCC) President Howard Roth.<br />At the same time, exporters who are waiting for compliance certificates for their products (including food) must wait until further notice, as US Food and Drug Administration announced that "is postponing most foreign inspections through April, effective immediately.

| 5308 | Brazilian cattle herd to grow by 3% this year | South American beef is to perform very well in international markets. | <p>The three main beef world exporters, Brazil, Australia and the United States, present different situations in terms of production and exports, according to Garra International. The company that operates in more than 60 markets around the globe as an exporter of poultry, beef, lamb, and pork foresee a good year for Brazilian beef.<br />The Latin American country is expected to increase the number of cattle heads by 3% in 2022 and this is due to the rise in the prices of live cattle and calf, in addition to the growth in beef exports.</p> <p>Australia, which suffered hard in 2021 from the drought and drastically reduced its exports, is rebuilding its cattle herd and will increase its exports in 2022. In the last year, Australians recorded the lowest shipments number in 36 years. For this year, the expectation is that there will be an increase of 1.1 million cattle heads and a growth of 10% in exports in relation to last year. However, the country started the year with a strong retraction in shipments. After the Omicron variant of Covid-19 spread among slaughterhouse workers, Australians achieved the lowest export volumes ever recorded in their history during January.</p> <p>The USA achieved historic export records, in volume and price, but last year’s cattle herd suffered a considerable reduction. On January 1st, 2022, there was a decline of 1.88 million cattle head, -2% compared to January 1, 2021. Drought in US livestock regions and high calf prices were the responsible for the drop in production. Now, the expectation is that the prices of all bovine products will rise between 8% and 12% throughout the year, announced Garra International.</p> <p> </p> | 1 | Industry | 2022-02-18 12:07:44 | 2025-08-10 22:41:07 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 5753 | Integrated duck processing solutions | The successful integration of PMJ into the Marel organization creates added value for duck processors around the world. They can benefit from Marel’s polyvalent duck processing portfolio, which has been considerably overhauled. Marel will be their one-stop full-line supplier for Pekin Ducks, Barbary, Muscovy, Mullard and other duck types as well as geese. In the primary process in particular, Marel has revamped its duck program by adding several automated solutions ‘powered by PMJ. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">After the stunning and scalding processes featuring dedicated solutions for the different species, there’s a wide variety of plucking solutions available, which can be combined to suit most situations: in-line, off-line, drum pluckers, counter-rotating. An individual mix of technologies can be tailored to the species being processed to ensure high efficiency.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It is common knowledge that when dealing with variations in weight, size and shape, off-line rotary drum plucking delivers the best possible result. It can process almost every bird size. Head and feet are plucked too and drum pluckers can easily handle bigger in-flock weight variations while still maintaining good plucking quality. Marel solves the typical disadvantages of conventional rotary drum pluckers by loading and discharging them automatically as well as making pluck cycle and speed settings easier.</p> <p><strong>Waxing</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Waxing ducks is essential for perfect skin quality, as it removes small feathers and down. By using more waxing cycles, the Marel modular waxing process can be tuned to all types of duck and any combination of market and product.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The waxing line comprises multiple phases featuring immersion tanks, wax removers and a wax recycling system. It starts with the Three Point Suspension System to position the product ideally for the application of a high-quality waxing layer around each product. The skin quality required determines the thickness of the wax layer and the number of dipping cycles.</p> <h4>Transfer</h4> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The duck Transfer Machine from kill line to evisceration line features a unique feet-to-feet transfer. It strictly separates the two processes, preventing contamination and lifting food safety standards to higher levels. The automated transfer process doesn’t need human input.</p> <p><strong>Polyvalent evisceration </strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Marel evisceration solutions are not just for Pekin Duck but can be set to handle a wide range of sizes and weights of ducks, geese and other waterfowl. Their performance is outstanding, with the highest percentage of complete packs removed. Once separated from the carcass, the viscera pack is transferred directly to a tray on a separate pack conveyor belt to minimize the risk of contamination. The conveyor with the drawn packs is synchronized with the product conveyor to make veterinarian inspection easy and effective.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The drawing operation is done very carefully, effectively removing hearts, resulting in minimum liver damage and minimum skin contamination. For each type of duck, goose, the eviscerator uses a dedicated spoon which are easily interchangeable. This is a practical solution for processors in Poland or Hungary, who handle ducks for most of the year but also have to deal with seasonal geese.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Neck handling</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the duck industry, careful handling of the neck and neck skin is crucial for the end product. Marel uses four machines to ensure the best possible effective neck process: Neck Skin Slitter, Head Cutter & Tongue Harvester, Neck Skin Inspection Machine and Neck Cracker. Performance of this four-stage neck process is independent of the killing method used after stunning. The combined system performs better than any other when it comes to the removal of esophagus and trachea. All neck processes aim to get a higher neck skin yield and better neck skin presentation.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Together, all these specialized duck processing systems represent a state-of-the-art solution carefully handling each detail of the primary process and providing high-quality duck meat at the end of the line.</p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2022-10-07 04:19:59 | 2025-08-10 22:41:19 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 4637 | 400,000 tonnes of pork to be imported by the Philippines | The duties have decreased from 30% to 5% for three months and that started a "pork rush" in the international market. | <p>The Filipino market is to take 400,000 tonnes of pork at 5% duty instead of 30%, as the Asian country is facing a huge deficit in animal protein and a spike in prices. Additional volumes up to 200,000 tonnes will be brought in the country at a 15% tariff instead of 40%, according to an order signed by President Duterte with validity until June. "Right now, my friends in the industry are all rushing to apply to import pork. I think there will be a large bulk of importation taking advantage of Executive Order. Depending on what happens in the economy, we believe that it can even go higher than 400,000, it may even reach 600,000 metric tons this year on total importation under what we call the MAV (minimum access volume)," Jet Ambalada, Director of the Philippine Association of Meat Processors, said at a webinar organized by the British Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines.<br />Currently, pig meat in the market is still sold at higher prices as it carries tariffs of 30% to 40% and it "may take some time to sell off these products unless they are willing to average down their costs so they would diminish their losses. What we need to do now is for the imported carcasses to have unhindered access to the marketplaces," stated Jesus Cham, President of the Filipino Meat Importers and Traders Association for CNN Philippines. So far, the Philippines are depending 23% on pork imports but the dependency could grow as the country is confronted with an ongoing ASF outbreak since 2019. Since then more than 400,000 pigs have been culled in 5 provinces of the country.<br />According to the Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines projection, it could take about three years to push production back to pre-ASF levels.</p> | 1 | Market | 2021-04-22 10:09:29 | 2025-08-10 22:41:25 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 4216 | Atria plans increased production capacity by 40% | The company intends to expand its poultry plant in Nurmo, Finland, with the largest single investment in Atria's history. | <p> </p> <p>Finnish poultry company Atria is investing about €155 million to construct a new poultry processing plant on its existing site in Nurmo. The investment includes new slaughtering, cutting and packaging lines, and will increase Atria’s poultry production capacity by approximately 40%.</p> <p>Poultry consumption has been increasing rapidly in Finland for several years. The growth was almost 4% per year between 2010 and 2019. Poultry production and consumption have almost doubled globally over the past 15 years, and Kantar TNS's meat consumption barometer forecasts that consumption will continue to increase rapidly in Finland. The consumption of both poultry and processed meats and convenience food that contain poultry is forecast to increase over the next few years.<br />"The planning phase of the construction project and the application processes for the necessary official permits began about a year ago. The poultry production facilities in Nurmo need to be modernized, and we need to increase our capacity to be able to better meet future consumer demand. In order to strengthen our position as the number one poultry producer in Finland, we decided to make the largest single investment in our company's history. One of Atria's competitive advantages is 100% antibiotic-free poultry, which is valued by consumers. Using Finnish chicken is a matter of honor for us, and the labelling on the majority of our poultry products shows the origin of the chicken all the way to the farm. Our new technology will allow for this type of labelling to be used on more products," explains Atria's CEO Juha Grohn.</p> <p>The new processing plant will help the company to meet growing consumer demand, and it will strengthen Atria's position as the market leader for poultry products in Finland. The new plant and increased capacity will enable Atria to increase its exports of poultry products. The investment will enable the development of a product portfolio for further processed products. Construction work on the new plant will begin as soon as possible and is expected to be fully completed by 2024 at the earliest.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-11-05 10:33:55 | 2025-08-10 22:42:39 | Details Edit Delete | ||

The restaurant segment is well-established, but grocery and e-commerce are emerging as important sales channels.</p> <p>"We also see an exciting tendency for more and more Norwegian salmon to be found in grocery stores even outside the big cities", he says.</p> <p><strong>A volume increase in trout exports</strong></p> <ul> <li>Norway exported 5,845 tonnes of trout worth NOK 527 million in July</li> <li>The export value of trout increased by NOK 7 million, or 1 per cent, compared to July last year.</li> <li>There is a growth in volume of 14 per cent.</li> <li>The USA, Ukraine and Thailand were the biggest markets for trout in July.</li> </ul> <p>Trout exports achieved a record high export value for a single month, NOK 3 million higher than the previous record month in June 2023.</p> <p>Ukraine had the most significant increase in value this month, with an increase in export value of NOK 42 million, or 188 per cent, compared to the same month last year.
