São Paulo – The Brazilian government reported on Tuesday (13) that Egypt has authorized Brazil to export bone-in meat to its market. Brazil already supplies Egypt with beef and live cattle, records of its trade balance with the Arab country year to date through July show.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil said the clearance was agribusiness’ 91st market opening this year, adding up to 169 across 56 destinations since the beginning of last year. In March this year, Egypt had opened up to sheep and goat meat products and offal from Brazil.
