ABPA looks to increase exports to China
The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) is present at the China International Import Expo (CIIE), in Shanghai, and looks to increase meat exports to the Chinese market. One of the representatives of the association, who lives in Beijing, is present at the CIIE to consolidate and expand exports to China. Currently, Brazil exports to China 16% of poultry meat destined for the international market and 50% pig meat.
