ABPA celebrates the official resumption of chicken meat exports to China
According to the Ministry, only shipments from the state of Rio Grande do Sul continue to be suspended.
The return occurs 26 days after the application of self-suspension resulting from the identification of an isolated case of Newcastle Disease on a farm located in Anta Gorda (RS).
ABPA highlights the speed and transparency with which the situation was identified, processed and finalized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, highlighting the leadership of Minister Carlos Fávaro in the face of the sectoral challenge, with the support of the Secretaries of Agricultural Defense, Carlos Goulart, of Commerce and International Relations, Roberto Perosa, and his teams. It is also worth highlighting the great engagement of the Brazilian embassy and especially the agricultural attaché in providing clarification to the Chinese authorities.
At the same time, ABPA will continue to support the Brazilian Government in advancing negotiations to end the temporary suspensions applied to exports from certain markets to the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
According to ABPA surveys, China is the main destination for chicken meat exports from Brazil. Between January and July this year, the country imported 337.2 thousand tons of animal protein, generating revenue of US$745.6 million. In the month of July alone, shipments reached 61 thousand tons, with revenue of US$ 144.6 million.
According to ABPA, despite the suspension, the impacts on the flow of exports were low, as there was a temporary redirection of cargo to other markets demanding the same products that are sent to China.
