Chinese authorities participate in a meeting with poultry and pig farming in Brazil
In his presentation, the president of ABPA reinforced the broad capacity of poultry and pork producers in Brazil to provide high quality and sustainable products. He also reinforced the rigid controls adopted by Brazil, the reinforcement of biosecurity protocols and the extensive monitoring action against cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in wild birds. Santin recalled that Brazil remains free of records of the disease in commercial herds.
The ABPA president also reinforced the request, already submitted by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, for the recognition of the entire Brazilian area free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination – a status already obtained from the World Organization for Animal Health. Currently, only the state of Santa Catarina has this recognition, which allows exports of bone-in pork and pork offfal to the Chinese market.
The meeting was attended by the deputy governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Gabriel Souza, in addition to the state secretaries of Agriculture, Giovani Feltes, and of Economic Development, Ernani Polo, and the director of the Department of Animal Health Surveillance and Defense from the State Department of Agriculture, Rosane Collares. During the meeting, the deputy governor invited Chinese representations to carry out health missions in the gaucho system. An invitation was also made to Expointer, scheduled to start on August 26, in Esteio (RS).
Representing the government of Paraná at the meeting, the CEO of the Agricultural Defense Agency of Paraná (ADAPAR), Otamir Cesar Martins, was present, along with members of the defense agency. On the occasion, representatives from Paraná presented the robustness of the agricultural defense structure, in addition to reinforcing the importance of animal protein production for the State.
"With full transparency, we underscore our position as partners in helping the Chinese people's food security. We want to expand commercial relations with what is the most relevant market for animal protein in Brazil", evaluates Ricardo Santin.
In addition to authorities from Brazil and China, the meeting brought together representatives of agroindustries that export poultry and pork to the Chinese market.
