The Corummese meat industry is one of the largest in [[Alshar]] if not the largest one. The Corummese beef and pork market has an estimated value of 500 billion taler, owing to the Corummese diet traditionally being very heavy on meat consumption. Favorable industry conditions include vast grazing areas, government subsidies, technical help and campaigns to promote meat eating. Growth and demand of the sector is being fueled by the introduction of meat cuts into north [[Crona]] diets via new retail channels, the availability of extra grazing areas in [[Xisheng]] and [[Canpei]] and favorable export agreements with various international clients. The majority of the sector's leading companies are members of the [[Federation of Corummese Beef Producers]], a cartel like organization that controls most commercial aspects of the beef industry and regulates meat prices.

Animal genetic modification to improve meat yields is a field that has received great attention by the industry and scientific community. Genetic engineering by meat producers has given rise to so called megacows and megapigs, animals between 30-40% larger than the average. As stated by a scientist involved one of the goals of the program is to 'make pigs as big as cows'.
