Supplier Group

Dunbia believes that farmers and processors need to work together to meet customer demand.

To do this we must firstly understand what the customer wants when they are purchasing food and secondly, how we can actually make changes to better meet that need.

Our new supplier group has been established to help our suppliers better meet customer demand and in so doing to improve their own profitability.

What does the group offer?

The group focuses on a number of areas:

1. Communication
