South Korean audit to begin in February will allow export of premium cuts from Paraguay

South Korean audit to begin in February will allow export of premium cuts from Paraguay

Its authorization would allow the export of premium cuts such as the rump cap, rump tail, loin. "I understand that South Korea is one of the main markets in the world, 70% of the world's major buyers are in Asia", he said.

Apodaca stressed that there are positive expectations and hope that these countries that pay much better will buy this meat because of the cattle producer who invests in genetics and technology. "We really  have meat that has international quality and it will not be a product that will go as a commodity, hopefully it will be valued and that is how it is", he stressed.

Regarding prices in the local market, the representative of the sector said that since the free market rules, they are expected to remain the same since the rib is an export surplus and is the most preferred by Paraguayans. "Meat with bone is not exported, but the rib largely remains in the country, as well as the front, which is the shoulder", he mentioned.

The South Korean health mission is expected to visit Paraguay from February 11 to 20 to audit the meat industry in the context of the opening of this market. The first visit had been made last October and had the best results, leading to this second one.
