Abiec sees advances for the Brazilian agricultural sector with decree that modernizes self-control
According to the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec), this measure is considered a milestone in the modernization of self-control for agricultural products in Brazil, since the implementation of management tools by indicators allows official veterinarians of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) to focus their efforts on processes that present some level of criticality to public or animal health.
"With this decree, the Brazilian government is positioning the sector on the same level as first world countries, which historically find greater knowledge, trust and credibility in public-private cooperation", says Antônio Jorge Camardelli, president of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec). According to Camardelli, these changes will enhance the value of federal agricultural tax auditors, allowing them to dedicate their qualifications to risk-based inspections.
According to Camardelli, the advances provide greater security to national consumers and to those from more than 190 countries that receive Brazilian products daily. "On behalf of Abiec, we would like to congratulate Minister Carlos Fávaro and the entire Mapa team for implementing the program, which will bring more transparency to the sector, ensuring our leadership in the global animal protein scenario", he concluded.
