Brasília – This Monday Brazil will begin negotiations with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan regarding the opening of markets there for Brazilian meats. A trade mission led by the secretary of Animal and Plant Defense at the Ministry of Agriculture, Mação Tadano, with representatives of the beef, pork and poultry industry, will explain the animal sanitation situation in Brazil.
The three countries have become potential buyers of Brazilian meats following the discovery of mad cow disease in the US.
The main objective of the trade mission that will go to Asia next week is to open markets in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan for Brazilian meats. But the mission will take advantage of the opportunity to renew talks with Japan on mangoes. Brazil has been negotiating mango exports with Japan for over twenty years.
