Fresh and Frozen Red Meat: Volume
Health
Value -5.1% and volume -6.1%, some inflation seen in the past year
Red Meat Consumption is Changing
Meat remains popular with shoppers, although mix of product changes
Increasing number of us are making more personalised choices about what we eat
Health
“3% GB population
are vegetarian/ pescatarian (eat fish)”
“YOY growth”
“Younger Families”
“7% of GB population can be described as ‘flexitarian’ reducing red meat consumption due to health and environment concerns ”
Not about diet but lifestyle
Consumers are seeking more information to make their choices
There is a trend towards ‘natural’ and ‘holistic’ eating where agriculture can play a key role

Healthy eating: New ideas to engage shoppers
Health
Source: Retailers, IGD Research
Growing fears around the production of meat means consumers are concerned with associated health risks and will likely need grater reassurance in the future
Health and Food Safety
Food Neurosis Transparency Nitrates
The nitrates in bacon are beginning to be demonized due to
their links to cancer and other health
problems
Increasing supply chain concerns is seeing consumers demand greater
transparency and traceability
Consumers have had so many conflicting
messages around the health risks of meat
the future could see a rise in food anxieties
Lifestage
Shoppers of the future will be…
The grocery shopping
experience will have to work
harder so shoppers can optimise their
time.
Health and wellbeing will
grow in importance with
subtle differences owing to individual
motivations.
Shoppers in the future will be open
to a more personalised food
and grocery experience, but only if there is a clear benefit to
them with minimal effort.
Shoppers in the future will
increasingly experiment with their shopping
and meal preparation to broaden their repertoires.
Shoppers will want to make
sustainable and ethical choices, but only if other needs are also satisfied.
Companies will have to respond on
shoppers’ terms.
Consumers take their consumption habits with them –how do we increase appeal in our declining sectors and
develop the right products?
Millennials are today’s consumer and the future of farming…
Millennials care about the food chain and sustainability
Lifestage
Sustainability is important
Meat consumption looks set to fall
Technology is already changing the traditional image of farming
Millennials want to change the world one field at a time
• .
Growing concern for where and how we live, leading to increased interest in how food is grown and produced
Environment
Sourcing
Instant access to information is the norm and an expectation of shoppers
Reducing meat consumption but increasing the quality of meat when consumed
Do we need to add another picture?
HEALTH
Encompasses a
range of factors –
primarily fat/salt/
sugar and level of
processing
Consistent Factors Taken Into Account By Consumers
A number of factors considered when making decisions about food
purchasing – particularly in fresh categories
QUALITY
Multifaceted :
judged by visual
appeal; trust in the
retailer; prior
knowledge of the
product; price
EXPERIENCE
Prior knowledge of
products is a strong
driver – repeat
purchase is very
common
PACKAGING
Considered both
practically (primarily
level of product
visibility) and
aesthetically
(grabbing attention
on shelf)
Specific information (‘small print’) on packaging/POS often overlooked
Welfare and responsible
farming
Farming or growing standards –
e.g. free range/ organic
Traceability –a known journey
Association of specific products with a country or region of origin
Visibility/ communication
of place of origin
Sourcing more top of mind, and important,
than origin

What Different Consumer Drivers Should We Focus on to Successfully Market Premium Pork?
LETS SHOUT ABOUT WHAT WE DO WELL… “HIGH WELFARE”
Let’s Shout About What We Do Well
Internationally recognised welfare accreditation and acknowledgement will help to ‘sell’ our higher welfare products
High Welfare Differentiated Production Standards & Products
More Important than ever for the UK market
Growing export market interest, USA, Australia etc.
“Real Welfare Outcomes”
THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTER…
Carcass balance (UK requirement)
23 Million Pigs7 Million Pigs 19 Million Pigs
UK Production approx 11 Million Pigs p.a
UK 2018:
54% self-sufficient
Implementation of Tariffs Could Further Affect Carcase Balance
UK pig meat exports continue to perform strongly
Tariffs do not
necessarily = NO
trade
But…obviously add
cost and complication
Biosecurity is key and Brexit may provide an opportunity to improve border controls
Livestock and Crop Health
Threat of disease is ever present
Increased importance of UK livestock and crop health status
Export health certifications rely on high health status of UK livestock, PRRS China example
“Top 20 global grocery markets to add US $1.9 trillion by 2023”
“Asia leading growth outlook…”
“…With strong support coming from Europe and US”
Significant Global Opportunities Exist If We Can Compete!
China & USA key markets, other interesting markets including Australia, Canada, Korea and Japan
Export Markets Key to UK Pork Industry Added Value
Need to ensure Government/DEFRA well briefed on key issues –political and technical aspects
Ongoing work with DEFRA, AHDB, BMPA etc. to access markets
Trotters to China value ~£7.5 million a year for the British pork industry
We will need to seize opportunities to show case our product abroad, both process and product quality will be key to securing such business for the long term though
Pork shortage which will be filled by reduced exports from China and increased imports
Seize The Opportunity When It Arises
Q: “ What is your most important priority when choosing the food you buy?”
Know Your Market…
Summary
Consumption changing: Fresh Meat Value Added Meat and Meal Solutions
Consumer buying behaviour influenced by: Health, Environment, Lifestyle and Sourcing
• Consumers are Innovate, Innovate, Innovate = NPD
Be proud of what WE do well: Differentiation, Higher Production Standards, High Health and Biosecurity
