PROVACUNO

The Interprofessional Agro-alimentary Organization of
Beef (PROVACUNO) is an organization that was constituted in Spain in 2014.
PROVACUNO represents approximately 85% of the sector in Spain, both the
producing branch, and the industrial / processing branch, which indicates the
high level of representativeness in the Spanish sector and the high scope and
impact of information and promotion programmes. It is important to highlight
the significance of the sector, as the livestock area creates 80,000 to 100,000
jobs, whereas the area of manufacturing accounts for about 280 slaughterhouses
and around 140 cutting plants, with 15,000 direct jobs. To this must be added
another 140,000 indirect jobs.
