One of the main targets of the effort of the Ministry of agriculture, livestock and food supply (Mapa) to expand exports of dairy products is Russia. In 2015, the industry''s exports to that country totaled US $ 2.5 million. The results of the actions of the Map to increase business with the Russian market in the dairy area were presented during the launch of the system for monitoring the quality of milk (SIMQL), on Tuesday (3), in Brasilia.
The Map also resulted in 26 housing dairy establishments to negotiate with Russia. The expectation is that the SIMQL, developed by Map in partnership with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), contributes to strengthen the country''s relations with the importers of dairy industry markets.
Brazil''s goal is to triple the volume of shipments of dairy products to the countries with the greatest potential for import, as Russia and China.
