BRASILIA: Brazil’s under-fire meat industry received a major boost last week as China, Chile and Egypt began lifting restrictions on imports from Latin America’s biggest economy.
Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi announced last weekend China’s “total reopening of the market for Brazilian meat” in a statement released by the ministry’s press office. “This testifies categorically to the solidity and quality of the Brazilian sanitary system and is a victory for our exporting capacity,” he wrote.
Chile and Egypt also confirmed changes to their bans.
