Uruguay has obtained authorization to export frozen beef to the Philippines
The director of International Affairs of the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP ), Adriana Lupinacci, celebrated the certification obtained by the new market, which has a 10% tariff, and a population of almost 118 million inhabitants, is positioned as the twentieth country as an importer of beef globally.
Likewise, the government department hopes that a similar authorization will soon be obtained for sheep meat, something that Minister Fernando Mattos already said in August of last year was 'one step' away from being achieved. "22 establishments were authorized, what remains now is the authorization for sheep meat", Lupinacci explained in this regard.
"We are very proud to have opened a lot of products to different countries, there are about 114 markets and it is a joint effort", said Lupinacci, who acknowledged that targeting Southeast Asia "was one of the strategies that was set during this period of government" due to 'the population' and 'low tariffs'.
"Now marketing depends on private companies"
"Today, what they have confirmed to us is that the market is operational with the approval of a health certificate, (private companies) can start marketing, but everything that is marketing depends on them", he stressed.
Back in America, Lupinacci commented that shipments of bovine stomachs to Chile were recently authorized, and he also joined the list of new markets for products that the MGAP managed to open.
