2026 Reverse Trade Mission: Deepening Strategic Partnerships with Seven Leading Filipino Importers

Following the strong results achieved in 2025, the "It's Time for EU Beef" campaign began 2026 with a high-impact reverse trade mission from February 14–20, welcoming seven key Filipino importing companies representing different segments of the Philippine meat market — from large-scale importers and distributors to premium food service and gourmet operators.

This visit by various meat importers to farms, abattoirs and cutting plants across Europe has provided a first-hand insight into the workings of the European meat sector and its high quality standards. During these tours, participants were able to see for themselves how every stage of the production process is carefully monitored, from livestock rearing right through to final distribution. This European production model, recognised as the most rigorous in the world, guarantees traceability, animal welfare and food safety. Furthermore, these visits bolster the confidence of international markets by demonstrating compliance with strict regulations and sustainable practices. Taken together, initiatives of this kind help to consolidate the reputation of European beef as a safe, high-quality and globally competitive product.
