PROVACUNO has intensified its efforts in South Korea to facilitate the entry of Spanish beef into this important market, within the framework of the “Beef Asia” Project, co-financed by the European Union.
During their stay in South Korea, PROVACUNO representatives have held strategic meetings with local authorities, main buyers and importers, as well as with various agents of the commercial chain and sector associations. These meetings have revealed great interest in our beef, highlighted for its cereal-based diet, tenderness, juiciness and delicate flavor.
During the mission, the opening of the Korean market for beef from France and Ireland was announced, placing Spain in the first line of waiting to obtain the same authorization. This news represents a significant advance for the Spanish meat industry
Within the framework of its mission, PROVACUNO organized a gala dinner that was attended by the most prominent Korean importers. In addition, from June 11 to 14, PROVACUNO participated in the Food & Hotel Seoul 2024 fair, the main agri-food fair in South Korea. This event is a reference for such influential markets as Japan, China and Southeast Asia, priority regions for the Spanish beef sector.

Key market
South Korea is presented as a key market for the high-quality meat sector. Korean consumers especially value meat that meets the highest production standards and respect for the environment and animal welfare. Furthermore, demand in South Korea continues to rise, reaching more than 560,000 tons in 2023, which makes it a very attractive destination for Spanish companies.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and through the activities programmed by the Interprofessional, PROVACUNO continues to work tirelessly to accelerate the opening of this market and ensure that Spanish beef is present on Korean tables in the future next.
