Good egg producer ultimately met in Belgium (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'belgium' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'good egg producer ultimately met' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'egg producer' becomes 'hen' (hens produce eggs).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'met' is 't'.
'g'+'hen'+'t'='GHENT'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ghent that I've seen before include "source of good news" , "Belgian port" , "City of northwest Belgium, known for its cloth industry" , "European city" , "Flanders city/port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
