The Belgian Meat Federation (FEBEV) and the Federation of Meat Products Manufacturers (Fenavian) have announced their intention to merge their pork indexes, the Meatindex and Vindex, to create a more accurate reflection of the pork market's dynamics. The combined index is expected to enhance transparency and strengthen negotiation powers against the retail sector. The initiative, which follows two years of preparation, has received support from other industry bodies like Pork.be.
