Mexico should visit plants of chickens and turkeys in Brazil

A technical mission of Mexico should visit plants of chickens and turkeys in Brazil, in the second half of August, aiming to evaluate the qualification of new exporters. "The confirmation is still unofficial and therefore do not have many details," said the Broadcast Agro, real-time service the Agência Estado, the Vice President of the Brazilian Association of Animal protein (ABPA), Ricardo Santin.
If the Country can expand this access you will be able to snap up a gap left by the United States, Brazil, dominates global exports of poultry. U.s. farms face an outbreak of avian influenza that has already caused the death of more than 48 million animals, prejudice and international embargos billionaire. The u.s. Department of agriculture (USDA) has reduced because of illness estimates of exports of poultry in the country in 2015 and 2016, and Mexico is a major importer of u.s. production.
In early July, the Mexico has renewed until March 2016, enabling five Brazilian establishments poultry meat exporters. At the time, the Ministry of agriculture reported that the potential of trade for fresh Brazilian chicken meat in Mexico is $ 315,7 million, which would represent 244 thousand tons.
Total Brazilian exports of chicken should terminate 2015 with a total of 4.3 million tonnes shipped, estimates the Brazilian Association of Animal protein (ABPA), which means 5% growth in comparison with the volume exported in 2014 (4.1 million tonnes). The production should reach 13 million tons at the end of the year, growth of 3% in relation to 2014.
Second Santin, the ABPA has yet to ask the federal Government to ensure that the mission be extended also to swine plants and genetic material for Mexico. For the pigmeat sector, one of the goals is to make exports less dependent on Russia, responsible for 38.5% of the total Brazilian shipments (118 thousand tons), followed by Hong Kong, with 22.9% (110 thousand tons).
