ABPA: The flow of poultry and pork exports to Mexico should remain firm in 2025
Created about two years ago by the Mexican Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit, PACIC aims to control inflationary effects and food shortages. The package encourages supply through the import of strategic products, such as chicken and pork.
With the renewal of PACIC, the current conditions for importing products will be maintained, with no limiting quotas with zero tariffs. The new PACIC will remain in force throughout 2025.
After the establishment of the Package, the partnership between Brazilians and Mexicans was significantly strengthened. In the first 11 months of 2024 alone, the program enabled the import of 205 thousand tons of chicken meat (+18.8% compared to the same period last year) and 42 thousand tons of pork (+49.7% according to the same comparative period), which generated combined revenues of US$ 620 million. Currently, Mexico is the 7th largest importer of chicken meat from Brazil, and the 10th main destination for pork.
“ Over the past year, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has dedicated great efforts to maintaining Brazil’s position as a supplier within the scope of the PACIC. The good relations between the countries and the solid partnership built between Brazilian producers and Mexican importers indicate that the flow of chicken and pork from Brazil to Mexico should continue at a positive pace throughout 2025, generating positive results for both nations” , assesses the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
