Testimonials

This type of tightly focused group trip is very valuable, especially when several professionals are involved. A very good choice of destination for the pork industry and an excellently organised trip. We established quality business contacts.  Thanks to Valorial, we were able to access high-level contacts at DMRI which would no doubt not have been possible otherwise. Without this opportunity, we would most likely not have gone ahead with this trip.

This was our company’s first ever exploratory trip. It was an intense experience and extremely rich with numerous unexpected opportunities.
