The Maple Leaf Difference

Maple Leaf has a long-standing reputation for bringing premium quality pork to Japan. Five critical foundations drive our vision for the pork industry: Sustainability, Our People, Our Pigs, Our Plants and Our Products. This approach provides maximum flexibility to meet customer needs and adapt to changing market conditions with speed and accuracy.

Why we do what we do: Proven taste and quality

Maple Leaf pork has a rich, mellow taste that provides a premium profile. The sweet flavour fat enhances appetite appeal. Our products are developed specifically to meet specifications in the Japanese market. We achieve this by developing hogs that have a higher fat saturation and therefore a firmer texture and tenderness. Our products achieve an ideal tensile strength of four.
