PRE-AGREEMENT STATE AGREEMENT ON POULTRY AND OTHER ANIMALS FARMS

Madrid, October 19, 2020. From the Interprofessional Association of Poultry Farming of Chicken Meat / Propollo (propollo.es) we value very positively the pre-agreement reached with the union representatives and our organization, which we hope will conclude with the definitive signing of the State Poultry Farm Agreement.

At a time of maximum tension for the Spanish economy, with the consequences of this pandemic affecting all the productive fabrics of our society, with a general decrease in activity in the HORECA channel and therefore in the demand for meat products, and With significant investments to maintain the safety of our processes throughout its value chain, we consider it very important to have a framework of action that gives stability to the sector for the poultry industry and for all the professionals linked to it (more than 45,000 direct and indirect)

The objective is to address the important challenges that we have before us, the main ones being to ensure the competitiveness of our sector and to have the capacity to respond to our consumers' demand for an essential product in their shopping basket.

In addition to this State Agreement on Poultry Farms, in the last month we have also reached a pre-agreement for the signing of the State Agreement on Poultry and Rabbit Slaughterhouses, so in just a few weeks we have closed the bases to establish the future of our sector in the medium and long term.
