After action in Mexico, exporters project US$ 115 million in business
According to surveys carried out by ABPA with participating companies, more than US$ 20 million in export business was consolidated in just the three days of the event, with importers from Mexico, the United States, Canada, Colombia, the Bahamas, Chile, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and other Caribbean countries.
In total, exporters project more than US$ 115 million in exports in the next 12 months based on the more than 450 contacts established with importers who visited the ABPA and ApexBrasil space.
In the action, which was led by ABPA's marketing and commercial promotion coordinator, Nayara Dalmolin, and by the market access manager, Gabriel Morelli, business meetings were held with potential clients and importers from Brazilian sectors.
In addition, the Brazilian Pork Sector Project – an international brand for Brazilian pork – launched its new branding during Expo Carnes y Lacteos. Focused on enhancing the attributes of flavor and protein quality, the project reinforces the leading role of Brazil and Brazilian pork in creating new flavors through cuisine.
"The action in Mexico was positive, at a time when we see a new configuration emerging in international trade, which should strengthen Brazil’s presence as a major partner in global food security", highlights ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
The action takes place just over two months after the renewal of the “Package against Inflation and Hunger” (PACIC, acronym in Spanish), which took place on December 31, 2024. Created to control inflationary effects and food shortages, the package encourages supply through the import of strategic products, such as chicken and pork, with the absence of limiting quotas with zero tariffs.
In the first two months alone, chicken meat exports to the Mexican market grew by 349.2%, jumping from 7,000 tons last year to 31,600 tons in the first two months of this year. The same occurred with pork, which registered 4,200 tons imported by Mexico in the period – for comparison purposes, in the same period last year it was only 25 tons.
