Peru opens the market for pork from Brazil
The authorization is the final step towards the start of sales of the Brazilian product to Peru, which had already opened its doors to the Brazilian sector with the definition in 2021 of an International Health Certificate.
The authorization for exports to the South American country is effective after the conclusion of the individual qualification process of the establishments – in the case of the qualified production unit, located in Acre (a state bordering Peru), it was concluded after a long negotiation between the two countries .
“This is an important step towards the internationalization of the region in the supply of pork products, thanks to the strong commitment of the Ministry of Agriculture, in particular its attaché, and the Brazilian Embassy in Lima. It is expected that the flow of trade will begin in the first half of 2023 and Brazil should act in a complementary way and respecting local production”, assesses the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
