Mexico and the United States agree on electronic certification of meat merchandise
This agreement represents the sum of efforts to protect agricultural health and the health of consumers.
With the purpose of carrying out the electronic certification of meat merchandise that is marketed between Mexico and the United States and thereby facilitating and providing greater security to the import and export processes, the governments of both countries signed a letter of intent to form a plan of collaborative work.
The signed document establishes the interest in promoting the progressive reduction of the use of paper and the adoption of digital tools to improve the integrity, efficiency and authenticity of export certificates for poultry, beef, pork, sheep and goat meat.
This agreement represents the sum of efforts to protect agricultural health and the health of consumers.
Mexico and the United States went from being competitors in food production to complementary partners.
Since the imposition of tariffs is no longer the predominant factor for trade, countries must streamline and facilitate their processes, which is why electronic certification is an effective method to achieve this, since it provides certainty to the marketing process and reduces costs of transaction.
The United States is a strategic trade partner for our country, since it concentrates more than 80 percent of the total volume of Mexican food exports.
The Undersecretary of the United States Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) indicated that it works under the guidelines of innovation, science and transparency, in order to guarantee that its consumers and those in other parts of the world have healthy foods and safe within their reach at affordable prices.
This vision is extended with our North American trade partners to strengthen and position the region as one of the most important generators of safe food for the world, he noted.
