Mexico imports live cattle from Belize
A new trade deal between Mexico and Belize allowed Belizean farmers to increase live cattle shipments to the North American country. Under the new trade arrangement, made possible through the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise, and the Belize Livestock Producers Association, 1,642 cattle head have been shipped to SuKarne, a Mexican meat processing company. The last shipment made this month consisted of 166 head of cattle, all purchased from Blue Creek farmers, according to Amandala magazine.
Meantime, “Belize and Mexico continue exploring coordination of their systems of phytosanitary control and expansion of partial scope agreements to enhance trade between the two countries,” according to a press release from the Government of Belize. This month, in an effort to improve the genetic variety and quality of its home-grown cattle, Belize facilitated 110 beef bovine embryotic implantations of Black Brangus and Braford cattle in the Blue Creek Village. The Government of Belize had imported embryos from Argentina based on consultations with the major agricultural stakeholders in Belize.
