China removes anti-dumping tariff on Brazilian poultry
China has removed the anti-dumping process against Brazilian poultry that increased importation tariffs up to 34.2%. In addition, the Chinese government has also authorised 12 new chicken plants from Brazil to export.
This has been agreed following negotiations between Brazil and China’s governments and private sectors, and also comes at a time that the 2 countries celebrate 50 years of trade relations. Brazil already is – and remians – the main supplier of fresh chicken meat to the Chinese market.
With the end of anti-dumping tariffs, the Brazilian Association of Animal Proteins (ABPA) highlights that Brazilian exporters will again compete on an equal footing with other exporters.
“It is the largest increase in poultry plant licenses ever carried out by China, after 5 years without new units authorised. This is also an important recognition from China of Brazilian poultry quality,” highlights the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
Before that, Brazil had 47 poultry plants qualified to export to China – now it has 55 poultry factories and 4 cold stores.
