Maporal pork production unit, in Reguengos de Monsaraz (Évora), already exports to 25 markets, but wants to reach 80 and increase the annual turnover from 45 to 120 million euros in 2024, said Nuno Correia, administrator and shareholder of the company.

With 25 countries in the export portfolio, in which China is assumed as the major destination of meat from Maporal, the company wants to reach 80 countries.
