The statement adds that this is a great opportunity to develop pig breeding and the meat processing industry, as well to sell surplus pork products.
The adoption of the new Law on food safety, as well as regulations concerning all aspects of meat production and distribution, controls for the meat industry, prevention of the illegal import and distribution of meat and the establishment of critical control points during the production process prove that Serbia is now able to produce quality pork products and sell them to the EU market.
Meat processing factories that have been granted export permits are Topola, Big Bull, Juhor and Kolbis, says the statement, adding that three other meat companies from central and southern Serbia are to be granted permits soon.
