"This month, it is worth highlighting the exports to the newly opened market of Mexico, one of the three largest importers in the world, and which has already placed itself among the ten main destinations for pork meat in Brazil. In turn, even with an increase of more than 20% in the volume purchased in the year, China has reduced its percentage share of total Brazilian exports, showing the success of Brazil's market diversification policy, including the possibility of opening new markets in the short term", analyzes Luís Rua, Director of Markets at ABPA.
