The two-year campaign, launched on 1st May 2020 continues 2018-2020 campaign and concerning the promotion of chilled or frozen pork and beef and meat products based on these meats, is addressed to the markets of the United States and Canada . The informational and promotional program "Meat with European quality" is implemented by the Union of Producers and Employers of Meat Industry (UPEMI) with financial support from the European Union.

The main objective of the campaign is to provide information on the quality and taste qualities of European pork, beef and their products, resulting from the specific production requirements defined both at the level of EU law and food quality management systems. Moreover it is to highlight European history, tradition and experience in meat production as well as processing, drawing attention to the high production standards with a set of strict legal regulations in order to guarantee the safety of food products.

The campaign message is directed toward two key target groups:

  • Professionals: importers, wholesalers, distributors, import organizations, butchers, representatives of the HoReCa sector (hoteliers and restaurateurs).
  • Opinion Leaders: journalists, chefs, representatives of meat industry organizations, representatives of retail chains.

Outline of planned activities as part of the second year of the campaign; schedule of events.

The second year of the campaign will be packed with economic missions, seminars, workshops, face-to-face B2B meetings, and trade fairs. These cumulative events are a consequence of the suspension of some activities due to the prevailing global pandemic conditions and their postponement until the following year. We hope to be able to implement all of them as planned.
