Activities
PROVACUNO represent and defend the interests of the entire beef sector, we also offer a meeting point for members to come together and adopt decisions regarding the internal regulation of the sector in order to preserve our value chain’s functional efficiency.
PROVACUNO encourages the adoption of sustainable practices by its members: we have launched the Beef Carbon Neutral 2050 Strategy aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration through improved land use practices.
Our organisation promotes responsible beef consumption, by highlighting its nutritional and health properties, as well as its high levels of quality and food safety.

Through our international activities in 18 countries, we support Spanish producers and companies in their access to export markets. We have at heart to offer a positive image of Spanish beef meat as well as to adapt our production to market and consumer demand, PROVACUNO has been involved in 37 recent market research projects.
Members
SELMA
Ricard Godia-President of Asoprovac (member of PROVACUNO):
“The beef cattle sector is suffering a significant loss of both competitiveness and sense of prestige that is leading to the accelerated disappearance of farms and census. There is an urgent need to rethink the situation of European Beef production in order to guarantee the protection of our territories, food security and the inclusion of young farmers.
I firmly believe in the strategic role of SELMA in helping to combat climate change and the depopulation of the rural world. SELMA must work to halt the decline of livestock farming if we want to count on this irreplaceable ally in the fixation of carbon and the fight against fires.”
