The ICC (Irish Casing Company) Group, the largest processor and supplier of beef, lamb, and pork by-products in the Northern Hemisphere, outputs 50,000 tons of edible by-products, 3 million hog casings, and 3 million sheep casings annually. Its main export markets include Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. In November 2023, ICC Group signed an agreement with the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone (formerly Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone) to establish an imported meat processing production base. As ICC Group's first deep processing project in China, this base focuses on the production of snacks, cooked food, and frozen meat, and will explore the fields of central-kitchen products and prefabricated meals. The imported meat of ICC Group, which meets the policy requirement on the value added after processing in the Hainan Free Trade Port, may enjoy a reduction of 12%-25% in import duties.
