INTEROVIC is the Interprofessional Organisation of Sheep and Goats, a non-profit organisation recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries And Food. It represents over 90% of the Spanish sheep and goat meat sector, including more than 100,000 producers and around 1,000 companies involved in processing as well as traders.
Our sector contributes significantly to the national economy, employing 250,000 families, most of them located in small towns and depopulated Spain.
Spain is one of the leading exporters of lamb and goat meat in Europe, with INTEROVIC playing a crucial role in expanding international markets. Export values have been growing, with major markets including France, Italy, and the Middle East.
