"With Edeka Nord's decision to build a new meat plant in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, long and intensive talks and negotiations between the ministry and the company have come to a successful conclusion," said Minister of Agriculture Dr. Till Backhaus (SPD) on Tuesday at the state press conference in Schwerin. Edeka Nord will build a new meat plant in Valluhn near Zarrentin (Ludwigslust district), which is scheduled to go into operation in 2005. Around 40 million euros are to be invested in the new NORDfrische Center. This will create 250 new jobs and 30 training positions in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

"Not only are new jobs being created in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In the long term, this will create new and secure sales opportunities for agricultural businesses in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," emphasized Minister Backhaus. The added value in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is also increased due to the higher processing in the state. The company is already one of the most important buyers of organic products in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, as well as cattle and pigs that meet the strict criteria of Edeka's "good meat" program. "Here is an opportunity for farmers to further improve the quality of the animals for slaughter," said Minister Backhaus.
