Spanish and Portuguese beef sector leaders met in Lisbon to bolster bilateral relations and enhance commercial ties, emphasizing shared cultural, gastronomic, and quality food values. The Interprofessional Agrifood Organization of Beef (Provacuno) highlighted the importance of enhancing collaboration, especially given Portugal's dependence on beef imports to meet domestic demand. In 2020, Spain exported 78,638 tonnes of beef to Portugal, valued at 276.4 million euros, making it the primary beef exporter to Portugal within the EU and globally. The meeting in Lisbon is part of an information campaign aimed at boosting the sector's competitiveness across Europe.
