This Tuesday (24), the Ministry of Agriculture reported that 17 countries removed export restrictions on Brazilian chicken meat. Algeria, Bolivia, Egypt, Iraq, Japan, Libya, Morocco, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic and Vietnam are some of them.
The blockages were imposed after the case of an avian flu case in a commercial farm in Montenegro (RS) last month. After meeting 28 days without new cases in commercial birds, Brazil declared itself free from the disease last Wednesday (18).
As a largest chicken exporter in the world, the country expects other nations that have created some export restrictions to remove or flexible these blocks increasingly.
China, the largest buyer, continues with an embargo for meat produced by all states. The European Union, a seventh largest client of Brazilian chicken, also maintains the full block – like 14 other countries. In 19, the restriction is limited to the products of Rio Grande do Sul and, in another three, to the region of Montenegro.
