Kepak has begun processing cattle for the Chinese market. Its site in Clonee, Co Meath, and the pork plant in Cavan, have been approved for exports to China.
John Horgan, managing director of Kepak Group, told the Irish Farmers Journal: “Kepak considers China to be a vitally important market, particularly in the context of Brexit. It will be a valuable market for selected meat cuts that are a popular mainstay of Chinese cuisine and we at Kepak look forward to building on already strong relationships to create further business opportunities.”
He said the approval of the pork site, McCarren Meats, was particularly welcome.
