In addition to supplying the group's feed blenders, our activities include trading to processors in domestic and foreign markets, all efficiently and in close cooperation with our international offices, exploiting synergies between our offices.

Large-scale livestock farming
pig production and integration
Our livestock business operates as a separate business within the UBM Group, but in close cooperation with the other businesses. Our explicit intention is to capture all the synergies offered by the UBM Group in terms of raw material sourcing, feed production, partnering and financing and to use them to increase our competitiveness and achieve market advantages. As an independent business unit, the new business unit will be able to contract grain and other feed materials according to its own needs, and will have a say in the joint development of the most favourable compound feeds and feeding processes for the period, variety and market requirements.
Currently, around 250,000 fattening pigs are produced each year in the integrations under the supervision of the business, partly by the business itself and partly by contract fatteners, using different technologies. From this changing environment, the structured information provided by the Livestocker system and the direct feedback on UBM's products and services offer a unique opportunity to develop our own competences.
Our plans include the implementation of a giga pig farm based on circular farming, environmentally conscious and animal-friendly technology in Transdanubia, and the continuous expansion of our integrations to 500,000 pigs per year for the next 3 years.
