| 4426 | Brazil expects to capitalize on China-Australia trade war | "I believe that Brazil will not want a trade war with China, as is happening now with Australia", says the president of the Brazil-China Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Charles Tang. | <p>As China is moving away from several beef producers in Australia due to diplomatic disputes between the two countries, Brazil expects to increase its share in the Chinese beef market. According to data collected by the Animal Protein Association (ABPA), China already accounts for 17% of chicken meat exported by Brazil and with 50.7% of total pork exports.<br />According to the president of the Brazil-China Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Charles Tang, even with the reconstitution of the Chinese herds, the Asian country's appetite for Brazilian meat should continue. “China is quickly rebuilding its breeding stock and, as a result, will have to import a lot of grain to feed its animals. However, protein consumption should continue to grow, especially for beef, since there is no space in China to raise cattle ”, he explains.</p> <p>After Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison attacked Chinese national interests, the Asian country moved away from buying from several Australian meatpackers, in addition to cutting imports and taxing barley. “The Australian economy is suffering a lot from these import cuts. And I believe that Brazil will not want a trade war with China, as is happening now with Australia ”, he added.<br />A recent forecast from USDA foresees a decline in China's beef output of 3% (6.7 million tonnes less than last year), which opens the door for imported beef.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2021-01-20 12:33:14 | 2025-08-13 14:57:14 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 5506 | Brazil eyes South Korea for pork exports | The Asian country just introduced a 50,000 tonnes quota without imports tariffs to stabilize the domestic meat market. | <p>South Korea announced a new measure to secure the necessary volumes of pork in the domestic market.

The quota is an opportunity to generate important foreign exchange for the productive sector, which is currently facing great difficulties”, analyzes Santin.<br />Between January and April, South Korea imported 2,600 tonnes of Brazilian pork, up 85% from the same period last year. Currently, only producing units in the state of Santa Catarina (which until recently was the only federative unit recognized as free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination) are authorized to ship pork to the Asian country. It is expected that soon states such as Parana and Rio Grande do Sul will also be recognized by the South Korean authorities, following the recognition of these states as free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).</p> | 1 | Industry | 2022-06-07 10:22:21 | 2025-08-13 12:59:28 | Details Edit Delete | ||

China will decide when to begin importing again, it added.</p> <p>The cases were identified in meat plants in the states of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais, the ministry said.

| 4661 | Brazil hopes to set another record in pork exports | New cases of ASF reported in China and the deficit of pork should support Brazilian pork exports at least until mid-2022. | <p>Brazil may exceed the volumes of pork exports reported for 2020 due to the high deficit of pork in the Chinese market. At least 10 ASF outbreaks have been reported in China in the last 4 months and the impact in domestic production is going to increase pork imports, predicts Luis Rua, market director for the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA). "It is possible that this year Brazil again exceeds the export record, exceeding 1.021 million tonnes shipped in 2020", he said. According to estimates from USDA, China's pig meat production will increase this year by 14% but that would not be enough to cover the deficit of pork in the domestic market.<br />According to Luis Rua, before the ASF crisis hit China in 2018, local pork production was around 54 million tonnes/year. At the beginning of this 2021, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) signaled a Chinese production of 43 million tonnes, a value that has already been revised downwards, now estimated at 40.5 million tonnes, considering the new outbreaks of the disease. and its consequences.</p> <p>"If the pork production forecast in China is 40.5 million tonnes for this year, they will have to import the rest from somewhere to reach the previously projected 43 million tonnes. Brazil is very well positioned for this and has already moved from 6th to 4th on the list of countries from which China matters most ", he explained. Currently, Spain is the biggest supplier of pork for China, with a market share of 22.5%.</p> | 1 | Market | 2021-05-04 11:53:20 | 2025-08-13 04:07:39 | Details Edit Delete | ||

The company has subsidiaries in 10 international markets and delivers halal products in 60 countries. Lately, demand for these products has increased in China and Europe, and the trend is expected to continue.<br />In 2010, 57% of the exports it intermediated in Brazil had the Middle East as its destination. Today this index is at 65%. "This halal market has been growing year after year, not only because of the demand from the Arab countries but also because of Muslim communities all over the world. The Middle East is very relevant, of course, as well as North Africa, but China and the European Union have also increased their participation in the segment," said Matias Hees, Garra's CCO in a statement for Avicultura Industrial. <br />From January to May this year, Saudi Arabia imported the most Brazilian halal chicken (26%), followed by the United Arab Emirates. However, other countries, many of which do not have a Muslim majority, received 27%, according to data presented by the Brazilian government.<br />Resulted from the merger of Brazilian KIT and New Zealander Garra, Garra International is targeting $1 billion in revenue over the next decade. Currently, the company's revenue resulted from animal protein trade is at $200 million.<br />To achieve its growth target in the next decade, Garra International counts on a favorable global scenario. In 2021, the production of animal protein is expected to reach 346 million tons, the highest number in history, according to data from FAO – the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. By 2050, the consumption of these products should grow by 73% when compared to 2011.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2021-09-06 06:48:15 | 2025-08-11 23:18:07 | Details Edit Delete | ||

Brazil, the world's largest exporter of the product, supplies around 160 countries and has been seeking this qualification for almost two decades.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">ABIEC (Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries) has been actively working to make this achievement possible, together with the Brazilian government and the production sector. In the last two years, technical and diplomatic missions have recorded significant progress, with health inspections carried out by Japanese authorities. ABIEC president Roberto Perosa has been to Japan several times to discuss the issue and highlighted that Brazil has one of the most advanced health control systems in the world, rigorously complying with the requirements of highly demanding markets, such as the United States, the European Union and China.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Entering the Japanese market would allow Brazil to compete with the country's main suppliers and further strengthen its position as a global benchmark in quality and sustainability. Furthermore, Brazilian meat exports would complement local production in Japan, ensuring greater supply to Japanese consumers without impacting the country's production chain.</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-03-19 00:20:11 | 2025-08-13 19:11:38 | Details Edit Delete | |

"With this, Brazil ends up gaining space in the U.S. market."<br />Brazil's pork export to the United States may also benefit from the trend, she said for Reuters.</p> <p>JBS has 12 units authorized to export to the United States and is looking at ways to expand that trade. Last week, Brazil's Agriculture Ministry cleared a Marfrig plant in Rondonia state for exports to the United States.

Marfrig said it already exports fresh and processed beef to the United States from four plants in Brazil. Minerva was authorized last week to export cooked and frozen products to the US market from a facility in Sao Paulo state, the company's sixth plant cleared for beef exports to the United States.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2021-07-06 10:32:52 | 2025-08-13 19:43:45 | Details Edit Delete | ||
