Europe’s New Meat Tycoons
‘Europe’s new meat tycoons’ reveals the corporate ownership and concentration of the European meat industry. This was a pan-European project that involved investigative work across Italy, Spain and the UK. We were commissioned to research the UK meat sector, developing an original methodology to quantify the size of the meat sector from the ground up. This methodology was then used across Spain and Italy. In a comparative analysis of market concentration across Europe, our research revealed that the UK is highly concentrated compared to Italy and Spain, with just three companies owning most of the sector.
Research Outputs:
A series of headline findings, a comprehensive dataset and an original methodology that has been adopted by partners across Europe.
Infographics produced and shared by major European food and farming funder, Healthy Food Healthy Planet.
