ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
In October 2020, the next edition of the “Polish beef on the Japanese table” campaign started. It is the continuation of the activities held in 2018-2019. Polish beef producers have another opportunity to present their current product offer and to gain knowledge on the expectations of Japanese beef consumers.
The “Polish beef on the Japanese table” was initiated by the Union of Producers and Employers of Meat Industry (UPEMI), which is a leading branch association that unites approx. 130 entities from the Polish meat sector.

POLISH BEEF SECTOR
The Polish meat branch is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the Polish agri-food industry counting more than 6 million head of cattle.

As a result, the Polish exporters are able to offer highly varied range of beef in many product and price categories.
