Spain reports 10% increase in meat exports for 2021

Spain is increasing its presence in the international meat market, with a jump of 10% reported in meat exports last year, reaching a total of 2,154,034 tonnes. From this perspective, all types of Spanish meat have enjoyed elevated demand in third markets around the globe. Poultry had the most notable increase in exports, with a growth in volumes of 25%, totaling 102,172 tonnes of products shipped outside the EU borders, followed by sheep and goat meat.
Beef closed the year with an increase of 12% in volumes exported (34,766 tonnes); while pork, despite the declines in recent months, also completed a year of growth with 1,923,530 tonnes sold in third countries, 7.9% more compared with 2020.
"Finally, another very positive figure is the 75,375 tonnes exported grouped under the heading 'other meats and preparations', since they show an increase of 39% compared to 2020," said the Spanish CEXGAN report.
Top 10 destinations for the Spanish meat exports were China, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, the UK, South Africa, Taiwan, Mexico, Hong Kong and Serbia.
