FAMADESA INCREASES ITS SALES ABROAD BY 15% IN THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR

Foreign trade, the cornerstone of the company’s development.

Famadesa increased its sales in the foreign market by 15% in the first five months of this year, compared to the same period in 2020.
The company invests 34 million for a new airing chamber, a cutting room and a purification plant.

In the first 5 months of 2021, the figures show a positive evolution in terms of frozen pork meat Exports, similar to the upward trend of the end of the previous year. The Asian market, mainly China, is once again the main customer/destination, with sales increasing by 48.67%, with a difference of more than €18M compared to last year.

Commitment to R&D&I

Recently, the Andalusian Regional Minister of the Presidency and spokesperson for the Andalusian Regional Government, Elías Bendodo, and the Regional Minister of Employment, Training and Self-Employment, Rocío Blanco, visited the facilities of this meat industry to see, on site, the progress of the expansion works.

This involves the construction of a new airing chamber; a stabilisation chamber; a cutting room (focused on setting up robotised slaughtering lines and product preparation, aimed at meeting the demands of the foreign market) and the extension of the slaughterhouse, together with a state-of-the-art treatment plant, which will be operational before the end of the year.

In 2020, a first phase comprising new pens, adapted to international animal welfare standards, as well as an automated driving system, was completed.

This expansion is justified by the company’s commitment to continue at the forefront of technology and R&D&I in order to continuously optimise its processes and products with the aim of offering increasingly demanding consumers products of the highest quality and the need to continue to respond to the increase in demand. In this Last year, Famadesa obtained sales of 303 million euros, 7.4% more than in 2019. More than 50% of the production of this Malaga-based meat company was destined for export in 2020, mainly to the Asian market, with China leading the way.
