The traceability of each animal is obligatory for the entire chain. The pig goes through three different processes depending on its purpose: maternity, gestation, fattening. From the farms, pigs are transported to slaughterhouses and, according to the market, processed into the final product.

From slaughterhouses, products can be transported to other facilities for further process or packaged for commercialization. Traditional market channels such as wholesale markets are widely used to commercialize fresh, frozen, and processed products. These are then transported and commercialized in local shops and small chains. Large chains and modern logistic and distribution platforms are used for mass consumption and export markets. Agents can be used to connect overseas importers. These are mainly used by Collectives and Associations, whereas supermarket chains have their own logistics platforms.
