Spanish and Portuguese beef sectors have met in Lisbon to strengthen bilateral relations and commercial ties, with a focus on promoting the 'Become Vaquero-Proud of EU Beef' campaign. The meeting, organized by PROVACUNO and APAQ-VLAAM, emphasized shared values such as quality food, consumer traceability, food safety, animal welfare, and environmental respect. Portugal, the main recipient of Spanish beef exports, received particular attention due to its deficit and high demand for beef with guaranteed quality. In 2020, Spain exported 78,638 tons of beef to Portugal, valued at 276.4 million euros, primarily fresh meat.
