In a standard serving of pork, approximately 200 g contains about 40 g of protein, which is an ideal source of protein for muscle.
As part of a structural project "Westfleisch 2025" Hamm is now the last meat center in the Westfleisch group to be integrated into a single project.
“Today, export permits, especially to Asia, are granted only to individual companies,” - said Shruk. “The loss of about a quarter of the world's pig population in Asia in recent months will offer us important additional markets in the coming years. We must prepare for this wave now, especially in Hamm. ”
In recent years, meat centers in Lubbeek and Bakum have been expanded thanks to active investments to become a tandem of competence in the field of beef production, which is valued by retail buyers. There, additional volumes can be recorded and processed in normal operation as part of the approved slaughter capacities.
