Spanish sheep co-operatives merge
04/06/2013
The combined group will involve 2,800 farmers in the regions of Extremadura and Andalusia, a total annual slaughter of 850,000 lambs and turnover of around EUR 75 million.
Rafael Crespo, a director of Cordero del Sur, said the merger was a logical step as sheep-farmers seek to “make the most of their assets” and to have “a higher profile”.
