International trade fair for the meat industry shows a global range of meat, sausage, game and poultry products
Anuga Meat will once again bring together the who's who of the international meat industry at Anuga from 5 to 9 October 2019 in Cologne. With over 1.000 exhibitors from 50 countries, the world's largest trade fair for meat, sausage and poultry is excellently positioned. In order to meet the consumers' desire for healthy nutrition, regionality, sustainability and animal welfare, this year's Anuga Meat will focus not only on meat, sausage and poultry but also on vegan and vegetarian meat alternatives and plant-based substitute products with proteins.

This year's top exhibitors include Agrosuper, Bell, Beretta, BRF, Citterio, CPF, Danish Crown, Dawn Meat, ElPozo, Farmers Food, Gierlinger, Groupe Bigard, Heidemark, Inalca, JBS, Klümper, Kramer, LDC, MHP , NH Foods, Pini, Plukon, Rovagnati, Seara, Smithfiled, Sprehe, Tönnies, Tyson Foods, VanDrie, Vion, Westfleisch, Wiesenhof and Wiltmann. Important European group participations come from Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. The South American continent is also represented with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.

They represent the entire range of meat production in its various stages of processing: from unprocessed meat products to meat preparations and convenience products to fine sausage and ham products and regional specialties. Suppliers of in-vitro meat and clean meat such as Moving Mountains will also be represented at Anuga. The sub-segments of Anuga Meat are divided between the halls as follows to give trade buyers more orientation: Hall 5.2 Sausages, Hall 6 Red Meat, Hall 9 Poultry and Red Meat.

The increasing participation of suppliers in Anuga Meat shows that exports continue to play a central role in the international meat industry. The development of new market potential is particularly important. Due to the sustained demand for meat products, additional buyer markets are emerging for EU producers in growth regions such as North and South America and Asia. Numerous meat products continue to be delivered all over the world from North and South America. With increasing competition from producers, there is corresponding market consolidation and ongoing securing of market shares. In terms of sales channels, the out-of-home market is playing an increasingly important role alongside buyers from the trade.

trends and themes
Consumers value regionality and traceability of products and continue to deal with issues such as animal welfare and animal protection. The new meat product launches registered worldwide by Innova Market Insights have also reflected this trend in recent years. This is also indicated by an increase of more than 10 percent in market launches of meat products with an ethically correct positioning. Another important trend is the increase in plant-based alternatives and meat substitutes, which also serve the growing market of so-called flexitarians. The reasons for limiting meat consumption are generally similar to those that led to vegetarians not eating meat, i.e. a mixture of health and environmental reasons such as the conservation of resources. These trends encourage the meat department to move towards a protein department, offering alternative protein sources based on soy, wheat or peas and many more. The meat industry is reacting to these developments, so that many producers are now also producing and marketing vegetarian alternatives to their standard range.

The variety of meat products presented at Anuga is great. A look at the innovations database on the Anuga website also shows this. The range of offers ranges from delicacies such as wild boar or deer salami and Tartufo ham to beef jerky and vegan sausages and meat with superfood or regional spice mixtures.

In addition, there will be one of the six new start-up areas in Hall 5.2. The focus of the start-ups is on innovative new products based on plant ingredients and insects.

The fair is from Saturday, October 5.10th. Open daily from 9.10.2019 a.m. to 10 p.m. until Wednesday, October 18, XNUMX. Only trade visitors have access.
