Grupo Bachoco Sends First Frozen Pork Shipment to Republic of the Congo

The move signals a push to diversify beyond poultry by opening a new African market.

Overview

  • The export is Bachoco’s debut for frozen pork in Africa and its first shipment to the Republic of the Congo.
  • The company did not disclose the volume and characterized the operation as a symbolic step toward building a foothold.
  • Serving a destination more than 12,700 kilometers away required extended cold-chain logistics with reported transit times of roughly 23 to 27 hours.
  • Mexico and the Republic of the Congo recorded $2.82 million in bilateral trade in the first half of 2025, indicating a small base for potential growth.
  • The expansion follows stronger 2025 performance, including MXN 25,820.9 million in first‑quarter revenue and MXN 3,027.7 million in EBITDA, as the pork unit gains relevance.
