The company said it intends to increase supplies of Polish beef to customers throughout the EU. After Ireland, Poland is the second-largest beef-exporting country in the bloc.
“This expansion will allow ABP Poland to further solidify our position as a sustainable supplier of high quality Polish beef products to customers throughout Europe.
