Brazil looks to fill 30,000 tonnes poultry quota offered by Mexico
Brazilian poultry producers are ready to fill most of the 30,000 tonnes chicken meat quota opened last week by the Mexican government. Poultry imports included in this quota are for countries outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). According to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA), Brazilian exporters of the product should benefit from the measure. The quota allows for import without customs duties and is valid for bone-in and boneless cuts, such as breast, thigh, drumstick and chicken wings. For ABPA, the rise in domestic prices for the product may have led Mexico to facilitate foreign purchases.
"For almost a decade, we have been building a strong partnership with Mexico, supporting especially in times when the local supply is facing internal supply problems. This is a partnership that has worked, and now it should gain new momentum, influencing the balance positive of Brazilian exports”, said the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin, in the statement. Even though import tariffs add up to 75%, from January to May this year, Mexico imported 38,300 tonnes of Brazilian chicken meat. In the same period last year, this volume was 2,300 tonnes, according to the ABPA.
