Belgian Meat Office coordinates pork and beef export activities. This meat export agency was founded in 2003 under Flanders’ Agricultural Marketing Board (VLAM) umbrella. VLAM is a non-profit organisation promoting the sale, the added value, the consumption and the image of products and services of the Flemish agriculture, horticulture, fishery and agro-alimentary sector in Belgium and abroad. It is commissioned by the business community and by the Flemish government and cooperates actively with as many links in the food chain as possible.
