In their annual booklet Livestock, Meat andEggs in the Netherlands for the year 2003, theProductschappen Vee, Vlees en Eieren (PVE:Product Boards for Livestock, Meat and Eggs)provide a survey of the most important Develop-ments during 2002: in texts, figures and illustra-tions.
The PVEThe PVE constitute the joint secretariat of theProductschap Vee en Vlees (PVV; Product Boardfor Livestock and Meat) and the ProductschapPluimvee en Eieren (PPE; Product Board forPoultry and Eggs). Product boards are ‘statu-tory trade organisations’, which are authorisedto formulate certain binding rules (regulations)for a sector. The product boards comprise avertical organisation of companies, representingall the links in a production chain, from rawmaterials to end products. The PVE cover allactivities from those of livestock farmers up toand including those taking place in shops. ThePVE aim to promote the sectors’ sustainabilityand further strengthen their competitive power,the leading principle being that meat and eggsmust meet the consumers’ requirements.
Jointly managed and autonomousThe PVE’s range of activities includes tasks per-formed on behalf of the Dutch government ina system of ‘joint management’. An importantaspect of those tasks is the administrativeorganisation of EU measures implemented inthe Netherlands. The PVE are for exampleauthorised to pay the Dutch calf-slaughter pre-miums and export refunds.In addition, the PVE also perform autonomousactivities in the general interest of the Dutchlivestock, meat and egg sectors. Among thelatter, ‘autonomous’ activities performed bythe PVE are:
• development and management of animalhealth and quality assurance systems;
• inspection of the classification and weighingof carcasses;
• supervising research and promoting innovation; • gathering know-how and informing the sec-
tors about relevant developments;• exploring and opening up new markets;• promotion of livestock, meat and eggs;• policy for working condition; • extension services for production, processing
and sale.
LeviesThe PVE receive compensation from the Dutchgovernment for their joint-management activi-ties. Most of their activities are howeverfinanced by their autonomous levies. The PVVand PPE’s management boards, which consistof representatives of all the links in the chain,determine the boards’ activities, the availablebudget and hence the height of the levies.Levies are imposed per slaughtered or exportedanimal (PVV) or per number of eggs orchicks/broilers (PPE).
Agricultural censusIn the Netherlands every year, the CBS, theCentral Bureau of Statistics, conducts a censusof the livestock at a fixed time. 2001 wascharacterised by an exceptional situation.During the census many farms were isolatedon account of an outbreak of Foot and MouthDisease with transport bans in force to preventthe risk of the disease spreading. As a result ofthis, the number of animals remaining onfarms and therefore registered in the censuswas far greater than would have been the caseunder normal circumstances. This led to a biasin the figures of 2001, and is also reflected inthose of 2002.

IntroductionDue to a number of factors 2002 remained adifficult year for the Dutch livestock, meat andegg sector. The environment, animal health,animal welfare and food safety once againprovoked a lot of discussion. Increasing pro-duction on the global market put pressure onthe prices of various kinds of meat and led todisappointing operating results.
GuaranteesThe PVE, the Dutch Product Boards for Live-stock, Meat and Eggs, introduced a rigorousquality-control system known as IKB (IKBstands for Integrale Keten Beheersing – totalsurveillance of animal production). It providesguarantees concerning quality, origins and pro-duction methods. IKB products may only besupplied by farms and companies where inde-pendent inspections are carried out to checkthe quality of animal feed, the use of veteri-nary drugs, compliance with the ban on theuse of growth promoters, hygiene and trans-port. Every link in the production chain, fromlivestock farmers to butchers, can participate inthe IKB schemes on a voluntary basis. Majoradvantages of the IKB system include the qual-ity guarantees, the system’s beneficial effect onimproving competitive positions and the imageof the sector and its products. The PVE coordi-nates the IKB scheme and formulates andmanages the regulations. There are IKBschemes for pigs, cattle, veal calves (producingwhite and pink meat), chicken (broilers), eggs,turkey and table rabbits.
ProductionIn 2002 the production value of the Dutch live-stock, meat and egg sector decreased 11% rel-ative to 2001, to 4.2 billion euros. The produc-
tion value of the cattle and veal sectorincreased (+13%). Increased consumption ofbeef led to a rise in production and an increasein selling prices. The production values of thepig and poultry sectors decreased by 24% and13%, respectively. Due to the government’s buying up of produc-tion rights in the pig sector, Dutch grossdomestic production decreased 5% andamounted to a total of around 2.7 milliontonnes. In the egg sector, gross domestic pro-duction decreased to 9.6 billion eggs (-3.2%).
ExportsDue to increased production on the globalmarket in 2002 the prices in the pig and poul-try sectors were depressed. Despite an encour-aging increase in the export volume the exportvalue of the cattle and meat sector declined by13%. Exports of eggs decreased 2%, to 7.7 billion, causing a 4% drop in the eggsector’s export value.
ConsumptionIn 2002 the Dutch consumed 1.4 milliontonnes of meat. That is 1% more than in2001. Consumption per capita increased by600 grams to 86.7 kg (meat with bones). Thegreatest increase was in poultry meat, of whichthe Dutch consumed on average 300 gramsmore than in 2001, leading to a total poultrymeat consumption of 22.4 kg per person. In2002 consumption of pigmeat increased by100 grams, to a total of 42.5 kg per capita.The recent trend of increased consumption ofeggs continued, as 2002 saw a further increaseof 3 eggs per capita. In total, 3.1 billion eggswere consumed in the Netherlands.

The PVE have formulated an IKB scheme forthe production of beef in the Netherlands. Animportant aspect of this scheme is the inspec-tion system for checking for compliance withthe ban on the use of growth promoters. Since2000, cattle farmers in the EU are obliged toperform self-inspections for the absence ofbanned growth promoters (hormones) andother banned substances. They can meet thisobligation by participating in a self-inspectionsystem or via individual sampling. IKB Cattle is the only self-inspection systemacknowledged in the Netherlands. As a resultalmost 100% of the Dutch cattle farmers partici-pate. No animals may be removed from non-IKB-accredited farms until they have been individuallysampled. In the Netherlands, the Animal SectorInspection Office (CBD) is the authorised self-inspection organisation.
The cattle stock in 2002The agricultural census showed that in 2002the Dutch cattle population amounted to 3.86million animals, 4.7% lower than that of theprevious year. But at the time of the census of2001 the cattle population was larger than nor-mal due to transport bans (FMD). The number of dairy cows and cows-in-milkdecreased 3.9% in 2002, to almost 1.5 million.Young animals for milk production decreasedto 1.25 million (-6.4%).The beef and grazing stock decreased 10.7 %to 392,000. Within this group the young stocksaw a 13.1% decrease, the number of sucklingcows decreased 6.0% and the number of beefand grazing cows dropped 7.5%. The numberof veal calves marginally increased to 713,000.
Cattle
Slaughtered animalsIn 2002, about 656,000 adult cattle wereslaughtered, representing a 4.5% increase anda slight recovery after the strong decrease (-27.1%) in 2001. This decline was partly dueto a decrease in the supply of cows and heifersin response to the poor selling prices, andpartly to a trend-related reduction in the pro-duction of fattening bulls. Also in 2001 asmaller export demand put pressure on pro-ducer prices. In 2002 the number of fatteningbulls decreased by about 10%. The supply ofcows and heifers showed a 7% recovery rela-tive to 2001, but remained much lower than inprevious years.
Imports and ExportsCattle imports saw a 38% increase. This figurerelated entirely to immature calves, whoseimports showed a 55% recovery. Imports ofadult cattle decreased by almost half. Importsof beef increased 8%. More beef wasimported from tertiary markets, in particularBrazil. Imports from EU member statesremained fairly stationary.
Cattle exports showed a recovery in 2002,especially with respect to sales within the EU.The 12% drop in beef exports that hadoccurred in 2001 was followed by a 7% recov-ery in 2002, in particular due to sales withinthe EU. The majority of the exports to tertiarymarkets go to Russia.
ConsumptionBeef consumption increased slightly in 2002.According to the preliminary figures, total con-sumption increased 1.4%. Consumption percapita increased to 17.8 kg of beef (excludingveal).

Veal calves
Dutch veal has a good international reputation.In order to maintain this reputation and toguarantee the quality of veal production, theIKB quality-assurance system for veal produc-tion was introduced in 1997. This scheme alsoincludes strict inspections for checking forcompliance with the ban on the use of growthpromoters that were formulated in 1990.These inspections make it possible to guaran-tee that the meat is free of banned substances. The IKB inspections are performed by the inde-pendent inspectors of the Stichting Kwaliteits-garantie Vleeskalversector (Foundation forQuality Guarantees in the Veal-Calf Sector),who are permitted to visit the farms withoutprior notification. No animals may be removedfrom non-IKB-accredited farms without sam-pling. There are two separate IKB schemes forveal calves: one for animals producing whiteveal and one for those producing pink veal.About 98% of all the veal producers in theNetherlands work within either one of theseIKB schemes.
The veal-calf sector in 2002In early 2002 the calf sector was still sufferingwith the after-effects of the veterinary prob-lems of 2001. The first half of the year saw afurther drop in prices. A slight recoveryoccurred in May, only to be followed byanother drop. From mid-2002 onwards pricesgradually rose to a higher level. The pricedevelopment then stabilised in September andOctober, but from November onwards pricesbegan to harden again. A higher demand inthe most important markets helped to largelyeliminate the high stock levels but did notimpact on the recovery of the price.
Stock and productionAt the time of the agricultural census of 2002there were around 713,000 veal calves in theNetherlands, a slightly larger number than in2001. Of those animals, 561,000 wereintended for the production of white veal and152,000 for pink veal. A total of 1.2 millioncalves were slaughtered, which was almost17% more than in the previous year, whenproduction decreased by around 35%. In 2001many veal calves could not be transported tothe slaughterhouses at the right time due toFMD. As a result of this the animals becamemuch heavier than usual.At the beginning of 2002 the average slaugh-tered weight was still high, but it graduallydecreased to the normal level. During 2002 theaverage slaughtered weight of the pink vealanimals also decreased, but remained higherthan in the past. This was partly attributable toEU regulations: heavier animals can benefitfrom the EU bull premium.Nett production of veal was 176,000 tonnes in2002, representing a 7% increase relative tothe previous year.
ExportsAfter a substantial drop in 2001, exports ofveal last year increased 29%, to 171,000tonnes, but remained below former levels. Italywas still the largest importer of Dutch veal. Thesecond largest importer was Germany. Theincreasing exports represent a recovery of thedemand for veal on these markets.
17
ImportsThe import of 430,000 calves in 2002 repre-sented a substantial recovery relative to 2001. The animals concerned were immature calves
intended for the production of veal. These ani-mals were increasingly imported from neigh-bouring countries.

The Dutch IKB Pig pro-gramme has for many years been viewed verypositively with respect to comparable systemsin other countries. Major advantages of theDutch system include the independent inspec-tions and the sanctioning in the primary andprocessing sectors. The IKB Pig scheme alsoincludes requirements relating to animal feed,hygiene and the use of veterinary drugs. In2002 the pig sector decided to tighten the IKBPig scheme, in particular the requirements withrespect to food safety - monitoring for theabsence of banned substances, feed, veterinarydrugs, hygiene and welfare. The welfarerequirements were adapted on the basis of theEU welfare standards. Work is continuing on aself-inspection system in order to guaranteethat products are free of banned substances.Independent research by the Dutch ResearchInternational Nederland (RIN) organisationshowed that almost 95% of the leading buyersof pigmeat in Germany, Italy, Greece andFrance find quality assurance systems impor-tant. Foreign buyers are far more familiar withthe Dutch IKB system than with other systems,and 58% of the buyers find it the most con-vincing quality system.
ProductionIn 2002 the Dutch pig population decreased11% relative to 2001, to 11.7 million animals.This decrease was partly attributable to thegovernment’s buying up of production rights.The decrease also due to the FMD transportban that was still in force at the time of theagricultural census of 2001, as a result ofwhich there were more pigs at the farms than
there would have been under normal circum-stances. The number of pig farms decreased7.6% to 11,851. The decrease in the pig popu-lation led to a decrease in the supply of pigletsand fattening pigs to 19.5 million (-6.2%), Thenumber of slaughterings also decreased (-1.9%), to 15.4 million, but this figuredecreased less than gross captive productiondue to an increase in pig imports and adecrease in pig exports.
ExportsBacon exports showed a healthy recovery ofmore than 11%. Even so, the pig sector’s totalexport volume decreased 11.7%, to just over 1 million tonnes in 2002 as a result of decreasedproduction. Some countries, including theimportant export country Italy, temporarilyclosed their borders on account of MPA. Thedecreased exports and lower prices caused thevalue of exports to drop 23.5%, to € 1.8 bil-lion.
Substantial drop in producerprices
The decrease in pig prices that started in 2001,continued in 2002. The first quarter saw aslight rise in prices, but from April onwardsthey showed a downward trend, excluding afew short recoveries. In 2002 the averagecrude price of fattening pigs (class E) in theNetherlands ultimately decreased 13%, to€ 1.20 per kg slaughtered weight, excludingVAT. The prices of piglets showed more or lessthe same development. The average pigletprice viewed over the entire year was € 32.50(-20%), including VAT.

Sheep and goats
At the time of the agricultural census of 2002the Dutch sheep population amounted toalmost 1.2 million. That figure is 8.5% lowerthan that of 2001, when the stock was slightlylarger as fewer animals could be removed fromthe farms due to FMD transport bans. Thenumber of ewes decreased 9.4% to 589,000and the number of lambs decreased 2.9% to575,000. The substantial growth of the goat populationthat characterised the previous years continuedin 2002. The agricultural census revealed atotal goat population of around 255,000, rep-resenting an increase of more than 15%. Thenumber of milk goats increased 23% to143,000 while that of other goats increasedalmost 7% to 112,000.
ProductionIn 2002, a total of 707,500 sheep and goatswere slaughtered. Of this number, 690,000were sheep and 17,500 goats. This implies a17.5% decrease of sheep slaughterings relativeto 2001 and a 15.9% decrease in the slaugh-terings of goats. In 2001 comparatively moreanimals than usual were slaughtered in theNetherlands due to the export problemscaused by FMD. Gross domestic production innumbers increased 4.5% in 2002 relative tothe previous year.
ExportsExports of live animals showed a substantialrecovery in 2002 due to the abolition of theFMD restrictions. Exports of sheep and goatsincreased 36%, but were lower than in theperiod before the outbreak of FMD. Exports ofmutton and goatmeat also increased in 2002
(+16%). Last year, France was replaced as theleading destination and came third after Ger-many and Belgium.
ImportsAs the United Kingdom had been banned fromexporting animals following the outbreak ofFMD, imports of sheep and goats from thatcountry were low in 2001. 2002 saw no recov-ery. Imports of meat (both mutton and goat-meat) on the contrary increased substantiallyfrom other countries. In particular, largeramounts of lamb were imported from NewZealand.
Market pricesIn 2001 the Dutch sheep sector benefited fromthe decrease in British exports due to FMD.Outbreaks of the same disease in the Nether-lands however temporarily restricted Dutchexports, too. This problem did not impact on2002 exports and for a large part of the yearlambs for slaughtering fetched higher pricesthan in the same period in 2001. The gradualreappearance of British products on the Euro-pean market led to some price pressure and inthe last two months of the year prices werelower than in 2001. The average price viewedover the entire year was about 9% higher thanin 2001.

Poultry meat
The Dutch poultry sector is working hard oncontrolling salmonella and campylobacter inbroilers. The main aim from the viewpoint offood safety is, after all, to offer consumers asafe product. All the farms and companiesactive in the Dutch poultry chain must complywith strict hygiene requirements. If tests revealthe presence of salmonella bacteria, measuresare taken to prevent the risk of the infectionspreading. European regulations and the Dutchgovernment’s policy are there to ensure that aproduct infected with salmonella will not reachconsumers.
Quality and safetyThe IKB Chicken and IKB Turkey qualityschemes guarantee the quality and safety ofDutch poultry meat. The two schemes ensurethat all the products concerned are producedin compliance with rules relating to suchaspects as the animals’ feed and the use ofveterinary drugs. Almost all farms and compa-nies active in the chicken and turkey produc-tion chains participate in the IKB programmes.It was decided that the IKB Chicken schememust be of at least the same standard as com-petitive systems in other countries, such as theEnglish ACP (Assured Chicken Programme) andthe German GGG (GütegemeinschaftGeflügel).In addition a Good Veterinary Practice code hasbeen set up for the poultry sector. Vets mustbe accredited under this code. In 2002 the IKBChicken scheme was expanded to include wel-fare standards for broilers.
Production2002 saw a slight decrease in Dutch produc-tion of poultry meat, to 767,000 tonnes (-0.3%). This was entirely due to an 8.5%decrease in the production of other poultry(ducks, geese, Guinea fowl), to 43,000 tonnes.Production of broilers increased slightly, to696,000 tonnes (+0.3%). Turkey productionremained stable at 28,000 tonnes. Producer prices of broilers came under pressureas a result of increased production in the EU,growing competition on the global market andthe import into the EU of large quantities ofsalted filets from Brazil and Thailand. The aver-age integration price of broilers dropped 12%to € 0.68 per kg of live weight.
ConsumptionConsumption of poultry meat continued toincrease in 2002. The 500-grams increase inconsumption that occurred in 2001 was fol-lowed by another 300-grams increase, leadingto a total of 22.4 kg per capita in 2002. Since1990 consumption of poultry meat increased 5 kg per capita. The growth in 2002 is encour-aging, considering the higher shop prices(+2%). Consumer prices rose in the first half ofthe year in particular. The last months of 2002saw a drop in shop prices of poultry meat,partly as a result of advertising/promotionalcampaigns and lower producer prices.
Pre-packed meatLast year saw another major increase in thepurchase volume of pre-packed poultry meat(+8%). Sales of non-pre-packed poultry meatare progressively decreasing; in 2002 the vol-ume dropped 14%. The proportion of pre-packed meat has meanwhile risen to 82.5%.
37
The supermarkets, where about 95% of thepoultry meat sold is pre-packed, sold 7% morepoultry meat than in 2001. This caused theirmarket share to increase three percentagepoints, to 80.6%. Specialist sellers of poultry
meat saw their sales drop. Sales of poultrymeat decreased 10% at butchers, 13% atshop poulterers and 12% at market poulterers.

The IKB Egg schemeThe Dutch egg sector has an IKB scheme foregg production since 1995. The schemeimposes strict quality requirements for all com-panies active in the production column: fromlaying-hen farms to egg-packing stations. The number of participants in the IKB schemeremained stable in 2002 with over 90% ofDutch egg production being covered by IKBsurveillance. Several of the scheme’s regula-tions were tightened in 2002. The introductionof obligatory stamping of eggs for examplemakes it easy to trace an egg’s origin. The codeindicates the farming system, country andpoultry farm from which the egg derives. Withthe introduction of this regulation the Nether-lands is ahead of European requirements (to beintroduced in 2004). As from 2003 semi-intensive laying-hen farmsmay also participate in the IKB scheme. Thismeans that all laying-poultry housing systemsare now covered by the IKB Egg scheme. Theregulations for semi-intensive eggs offer thesame guarantees as the existing regulations foreggs from free-range and caged hens. The lay-ing hens that produce semi-intensive eggs canscavenge outdoors. So as to be able to offerthe same guarantees concerning the qualityand food safety of these eggs, additional regu-lations have been formulated for the new IKBSemi-Intensive Egg scheme.
Salmonella approachThe egg sector continues to make stringentefforts to eliminate salmonella infections, withspecial action plans being implemented. Stricthygiene measures are imposed for all links inthe chain including feed producers. Compli-
ance is enforced through independent inspec-tions. Laying farms are also strictly inspected.This prevents the risk of any eggs frominfected laying hens being sold by shops forconsumption.
Good yearWithin the Dutch livestock sectors, the eggsector has had one of the most successfulyears in 2002; this is in spite of temporary saleproblems and temporarily lower prices due tothe nitrophene scandal in Germany. The aver-age egg price recovered during the year reach-ing the level of 2001. This was largely theresult of decreased production in both theNetherlands and the EU and the risen domesticconsumption of eggs.
ProductionAccording to the agricultural census, by April2002 the number of laying hens aged 18weeks and older was 28.7 million, i.e. almost10% lower than in April 2001. This smallernumber of laying hens resulted in a decrease inthe production of eggs to 9.6 billion (-3.2%).The production of egg products decreased to126,000 tonnes (-6%). Taking into account thedecreased production and the price of eggsultimately remaining at the same level as in2001, led to a 3% decrease in productionvalue for the egg sector (€ 379 million).
Growing consumption of eggsThe trend of gradually increasing egg-con-sumption figures continued in 2002, as con-sumption increased by 3 eggs, reaching a totalof 184 eggs (+1.6%) per capita. In total, 3.1billion eggs were consumed in the Nether-

lands. This figure includes both the consump-tion of boiled and fried eggs and products con-taining eggs, such as cakes, biscuits and sham-poo.
ExportsDecreased production and increased domesticconsumption led to a 1% decrease in exports,to 7.7 billion. Exports of eggs intended for con-sumption decreased 7.5% to 5.6 billion. How-ever, exports of egg products recovered fromthe drop in 2001 and amounted to 2.1 billion(+15.8%) in terms of shell eggs.

Meat-processing industry
Meat products are consumed mainly in house-hold contexts. In 2002 this market grew after anumber of years of stability. Whilst in the caseof meat, 2002 saw growth in the market out-side household contexts. The share of this mar-ket segment is approximately 87%. On a vol-ume basis, the market grew 2.5%. As theprices were on average higher than in 2001,expenditure worked out to be about 6%higher. Sales of all types of meat productsexcept liver articles increased. The productssold most frequently were ham on the bone,grilled bacon, steak tartare and salami. Articlesthat were less popular among consumers in2002 were corned beef, liver paté, smoke-dried horsemeat and boiled shoulder of ham.Like meat, meat products show a trendtowards convenience products. The proportionof pre-packed meat products increased threepercent, to 83%. This development reflects theincrease in the market power of the supermar-kets where these products are primarily sold.The market share of these sales outlets in thehousehold market of meat products againincreased substantially last year and is forecastto account over 90% within a few years.
ExportsIn 2002, the export volume of (cooked and/orcanned) meat products remained at the samelevel as in 2001. However, as the average pricelevel of the exports was lower, the export valuedeclined year on year. The Dutch meat prod-ucts sector is estimated to have exported prod-ucts to a value of € 310 million last year, i.e.13% less than in 2001.
The first half of 2002 saw a major increase inexports to the United Kingdom. With a shareof more than 30%, the United Kingdom is themost important buyer of Dutch meat products.Germany with a share of almost 25% is thesecond largest export market. Exports to theNetherlands’ eastern neighbours saw a slightdecrease last year. The share within the EU ofexports of Dutch meat products remained sig-nificantly high at about 85% in 2002 maintain-ing the same share as in 2001. Important buy-ers outside the EU are in particular the UnitedStates (5%) and Lebanon (3%).
ImportsIn 2001 imports of cooked and/or cannedmeat products exceeded exports for the firsttime. This was largely attributable to a substan-tial increase in imports of cooked poultry meatproducts (such as salted chicken filet). In 2002the trend continued with a further increase inthe negative trade balance. In particular morecooked meat products were imported fromBrazil and Belgium, jointly accounting for 60%of overall imports. There was a decrease inimports of cooked meat products from Thai-land during the first 6 months of the year.Imports of cooked meat products from Ger-many remained at more or less the same levelas in 2001.
