DCA Market Intelligence launches international meat platform

Published: Sep 22, 2025

DCA Market Intelligence has introduced a new international intelligence platform for pork, beef and poultry. With independent benchmark prices, trade data and market analyses, DCA Market Intelligence, as a leading Price Reporting Agency (PRA), provides transparency in markets experiencing historically high price levels and strong volatility.

In recent years, global meat markets have undergone significant shifts. For instance, beef prices in Europe increased by more than 41 percent between late 2024 and spring 2025. In such turbulent conditions, the demand for reliable and independent data and price reporting continues to grow.

The new meat platform enhances the existing portfolio covering dairy, crops & ingredients and potatoes & fries. With this addition, DCA Market Intelligence now serves an even broader segment of the agri-food industry with independent market data. The platform equips traders, processors and retailers with a complete view of developments and trends in a rapidly evolving meat market, including:

  • A personalized dashboard with real-time (benchmark) prices, slaughter figures, livestock data, trade flows, and import/export statistics
  • Independent benchmark prices for pigs, piglets, and meat cuts (including hams, ribs, loins, shoulders, and bellies)
  • Daily market analyses and updates on the pork, beef and poultry sectors
  • Data on external factors such as currencies, interest rates, and commodity markets including energy and oil

“With this meat platform, we are delivering one of the most comprehensive sources of information for the meat sector,” says Eric de Lijster, head of PRA at DCA Market Intelligence. “Independent price assessments and up-to-date data provide market professionals with an objective reference point to better anticipate price fluctuations, strengthening their position in a competitive market.”
