The British Chamber of Commerce Philippines partnered with Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) — represented by Senior Export Manager Susan Stewart for another UK-PH Meat Trade Mission at One World Butchers, Makati City last December 2, 2022.
The Philippines is one of the biggest markets for British meat exports. The dinner event gathered various importers, distributors, and stakeholders attended with representatives from Ramcar, Atkins, Enzed Trade Inc., Global Essential Foods Inc., JMSY Trading, Hexagon, Vanguard, Maharlika Agro Marine Ventures Corps, Golden Tiara Enterprises, Rizalyn Manio Manaloto Trading, and PrimeBeef company.
The highlight of the event was UK’s Dingley Dell pork belly as part of the menu.
Further, the British Meat Trade Mission dinner also celebrated the significance of high-quality British meat at an affordable price – especially that British pork exports to the Philippines have increased up to 41 percent.
With quality, traceability, and adaptability on UK pork exports, the second meat trade mission event was significant in exchanging good discussions with local importers and further potential to grow exports to the Philippines, particularly how the Chamber supports most meat import groups’ request to extend the lower tariffs on pork.
