Egypt looks to increase meat and poultry imports from Brazil
Egypt is looking to increase poultry and beef imports from Brazil to cover the domestic demand, reports Reuters. Until now, the African country had a large livestock import program but it seems that the priorities gave changed in the last months. 42 Brazilian processing units, of which 27 are poultry plants have been approved to export to Egypt, announced the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture.
Indonesia approved an additional 20,000 tonnes import quota for Brazilian beef, according to the ministry’s statement. Last year, Brazilian poultry and beef exports have set new record figures due to increased demand from China, a country that is facing a current deficit on animal protein due to the ASF crisis. Over the first quarter of the year, Brazilian poultry exports have reached 1.021 million tonnes, up 8.8% year-on-year, according to the latest data reported by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA).
