UK broadens Brazilian chicken import quota
The United Kingdom increased the import quota of poultry meat from Brazil by 20.7%, from 79,900 to 96.500 tonnes per year, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA).
The entity calculates an increase in revenue to Brazilian exporters by at least US$60 million this year. The agreement was announced days after the visit of Brazilian Minister of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil, Carlos Fávaro, to England.
On 19 April, the minister participated in a working meeting with the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the UK, Thérèse Coffey, with a focus on opening up the British market for animal proteins.
According to the president of Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA), Ricardo Santin, the change is an important achievement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil.
“This should generate significant, positive impacts on the general balance of poultry shipments in the country later this year, in addition to consolidating Brazil as a great supplier to the British market,” assesses Santin.
