MEAT INDUSTRY RESEARCH GROUP OF THE PRINCIPALIYY OF ASTURIAS.

ASINCAR is a reference entity and a unique meeting point for the Asturian Agri-food Sector, where companies focus their demands, concerns, and difficulties so that they can be channelled and solved. With a history of more than 40 years of activity representing, defending, and promoting the interests of the sector in Asturias, ASINCAR is the reference centre for the technological and socioeconomic development of the Asturian agri-food sector. It is made up of a network of 114 organizations and they have been awarded the Gold Seal granted by the ECEI as a sign of the day-to-day improvement, as well as the role they play as benchmark in the sector.
Under the cluster role, they study the environment and markets in which the commercial activity of the sector takes place, analyse them, and define sector strategies. They prevent possible threats and analyse possible situations of risk or opportunity for the sector. They also provide the tools that allow companies to adapt to new changes.
