Core Competence

Livestock Vertical Integration

Harim Group holds the so-called ‘Three-way Integrated Management’ as its core capability where the fields of production, processing and distributing of protein foods (livestock meat) are managed in a way of integration.

Integration management is generally defined as ‘ all management activities where production and related processing, distributing and selling functions are jointly performed vertically or horizontally. In other words, it means the management method which either makes value chain stages from production to consumption cooperates with each other or controls and manages by a single organization. The business area where this management method is applied is referred as integration business and the legal definition (Act on Livestock integration business) of integration business of livestock field is “The business of fully or partially integrating the raising of livestock, the production of livestock products, slaughter of livestock, the processing and distribution of livestock products”

It is the very Harim Group that introduced vertical integration which is common in manufacturing fields for chicken businesses and set it in a higher quality form. Harim Group made a successful model of integration business through carrying out the so-called ‘Three-way Integrated Management’ where farms in charge of production, plants in charge of processing and markets for distribution and selling products are integrated.

Harim Group’s capability of integration management for domestic livestock integration business can be the best in Korea. We have a system which increases value and minimizes the cost generated in each stage by connecting all the process of supply chains: improvement and fertilization of breed; raising (fattening); slaughtering; primary processing (fresh meat) and secondary processing (further processed meat); distribution (storage/logistics); and selling (wholesale/retail)
