Recognition of Paraná as FMD free should boost pork shipments to Chile

Paraná's recognition should bring new momentum to the sector's business. Currently, only Santa Catarina exported pork to the Chilean market, which has an export agreement with Brazil through pre-listing, guaranteeing the state broad market access.

“This is another achievement by Minister Carlos Fávaro and Secretaries Luis Rua (International Relations) and Carlos Goulart (Defense) for Brazil's pork export chain, which is projecting record exports and should be positively influenced by this new recognition”, says ABPA president Ricardo Santin.

Chile, the fourth-largest destination for Brazilian pork exports, imported 55,900 tons of pork in the first half of this year alone, generating revenue of US$140 million. Compared to last year, shipments grew 11.1% in volume and 30% in revenue.
