ABPA celebrates new opportunity for poultry and swine in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

A Caribbean island country with around 110,000 inhabitants and an economy based on tourism, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines does not have large-scale production and imports most of its own consumption.

Last year, they imported 8,000 tons of chicken meat and almost 1,000 tons of pork. About 80% of all imports come from the United States.

"The opening of this market will increase Brazil's presence in the Caribbean market, which has great potential and demand for meat products. This is another important achievement for Brazil, through the work of Minister Fávaro, together with his secretaries of International Relations, Luís Rua, and of Agricultural Defense, Carlos Goulart, and the companies in the sector, expanding and diversifying the destinations for exports in the sector", says ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
