EU Meat Consumption, 2000-2012(f)Total ‘000t cwe and per capita kg cwe
q EU meat consumption fell in 2009, and again in 2011-12, reflecting:─ Poor EU economic situation─ Tight meat supplies (due to reduced
production and imports)─ Higher prices
q Total consumption situation is actually“not too bad ’: but underlyingdynamics are tough on the meatprocessors:─ Significant consumer trading down
through various different mechanisms─ Retailer ‘price wars’ which have more
resonance than in past
q Net effect is more margin pressure on processors

q Rising EU meat producer prices (in realterms) since 2001/02
q Exceptional 2011 price rises : reflectingsupply tightness (both domestically and fromimport/export balance)
q Margin squeeze on processors due todifficulty in passing through producer price rises to customers
q Rising EU meat expenditure trend (in real terms) with dramatic rises in 2007/08 and again in 2011 … but lower growththan in the developing world
q Bouyant meat marketing environment , with many differentdynamics and requiring more sophisticated marketing by processors

Recent external EU meat trade balance shifting to exports, giving advantage to the bigger processors
EU Meat 3rd country Imports*, 2000-2012(f)
EU Meat 3rd country Exports*, 2000-2012(f)
q EU meat imports have fallen since2008 reflecting:─ Poor EU economic situation─ Tight global BF and SH meat
supplies─ Brazilian BF traceability problems
which have reduced supplyavailability further
─ (After paying EU import tariff) higherFOB prices for exporters to EU in other 3rd country markets (RU, MENA etc.)
q Imports likely to rise again in the future – as EU demand recovers
q … but for the time being much less import pressure on EU prices … and a renewedretailer focus on sustainable local meat supply
q Export volumes have boomed :─ Strong 3rd country demand
─ Weaker Euro
─ Carcass meat export volumes might be difficult to sustain … but sustainable focuson 3rd country exports of offals and by-products
q Competitive advantage for processors who have scale to invest in direct (export) trademarketing.

Ownership of primary processing is still mainly private, with family control … although coops are still important
─ Majority of meat processing is still owned by private and family firms …
─ Very little retailer ownership of slaughtering …. but there is still some
─ Municipal ownership of abattoirs has been declining for very many years …
─ Access-to-capital to finance further major consolidation – be it national or international, is a challenge.
� Family owned firms largely find solutionsto the challenge of succession issues …
� The Stockmarket has rarely proven an effective long term form of ownership for the meat sector
� Vion is owned by a farmers union (ZLTO) (categorised here as ‘coop/farmer’): but is a for-profit focused company rather than being a coop price maximiser …
� Danish Crown transferred operating assets to a Ltd company status in 2011, but is still 100% owned by the original coop .
� Atria and HK are Stockmarket quoted Plcs, but the original coops hold the voting majority.
─ Brazilian mega-M&A has slowed …. but some strategic infill acquisition in EU are likely

Pigmeat distribution is dominated by the importance of further processing … with (low) cost ingredient focus
5.3 Production etc. - Pigmeat
q The chart is an estimate shown for illustrative purposes only, of the segmentation of the domestic markets. The distribution shares vary considerably in the different countries. However, the definitions and data are not fullycomparable: Gira has had to estimate, so readers should exercise considerable caution should they choose to drawconclusions from these data.
q Further processing dominates the usage of pigmeat (including bacon, as well as the obvious hams, charcuterie, sausages, meatballs, elaborated etc)

q The EU pigmeat market is still effectively protected from (all but minimal) imports by TRQ and various SPS barriers. Some selective relaxation may come through FTA’s but Gira is assuming that the short-medium imports will be small …and so the domestic industry does face a significant import threat
q 3rd country exports are important at 10% of production. Current market conditions are buoyant – with high prices, giving advantage to bigger companies. However import politics are dangerous and volatile (RU, CN)
© Gira 2012
The TopCos have increased kill share in a slowly concentrating European pigmeat industry
q Top 15 EU pigmeat processors have increased EU27 share to 38%, up from 34% in 2006 … but in some countries the outright leaders have lost some share
q Slow process of consolidation and more international development than for the other species

Italy - PK: A traditionally fragmented sector; relying on added-value through PDO
q Likely production downturn in spite of differentiated heavy pig focus─ pigmeat import pressure─ 2013 sow housing─ feed costs
q Fragmented slaughtering : between a few large, efficient plants & over 1,000 small firms
q Need for processing capacity consolidationq M&A activity has been limited in a sector
characterised by the predominance of coops─ the share of top producers has remained
constant over the past decadeq Gruppo Ghinzelli is by far the largest
pigmeat producer, with 11 plants in all. Slight growth
q Italcarni is the main cooperative competitor, ─ all slaughtering concentrated in a single
site q The Veronesi Group owns the No.5 pig
slaughterer Montorsi as well as the leading poultry company in Italy, Aia

Concluding perspectives on Italian (pig)meat sector
q Differentiated heavy pig with large domestic market and growing FP export
q Little or no sector growth …─ Sow stalls─ Pressure on PDO products in current recession─ Fragmentation throughout chain, PDO constraints on concentration
─ Labour cost & availability issues – compared to Germany─ Import pressures : CAP reform ? FTA ?..... TRQ relaxatio n ?
q Domestic focus in an internationalising industry─ Weak domestic IT economy─ Ever increasing intra-EU meat trade … driven by price, and local
differences in supply & demand for different cuts─ Scale advantages for other competitors to benefit from exports and
the rising prices in 3rd countries (e.g. CN, RU, MENA)
─ Sector initiatives to enhance efficiency2. Executive Summary
