Smithfield Foods entered the Romanian meat products market in 2004. Since then, our Smithfield Prod subsidiary has become the nation’s largest producer of fresh pork with a market share of approximately 30 percent. Smithfield Prod operates one of the most technologically advanced meat processing facilities in Europe, and its products are sold primarily to retail customers under the Comtim brand. Following a six-year ban on Romanian pork exports, in early 2012 Smithfield Prod became the country’s first pork processor to receive European Union approval to sell products to member countries.
