Mexico announced, this Friday (24), the renewal of the import quota for poultry meat from Brazil. The information was published in the Official Gazette of La Federación, of the Government Secretariat of the North American country, according to the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA).
According to the Brazilian entity, the new quota, of 55 thousand tons, is additional to the first published by Mexico in 2013, of 300 thousand tons, and refers to whole products and fresh or frozen cuts.
Since the opening of the market, according to ABPA, Mexico has gained prominence on the list of chicken meat exports from Brazil. The expectation is that the country will remain among the main destinations for Brazilian products.
From January to April, Mexico imported 16.4 thousand tons, a volume that was 50% lower than the amount made in the same period last year due to the end of the quotas in force until then, explains the executive director of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
“We have good expectations regarding the resumption of the pace of shipments to Mexico, which has become one of the priority markets for Brazilian exporters”, he highlights.
