S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The 1st<\/sup> Training Event on Good Practices and Animal Welfare in Living Animal Sea Transport started last Monday (16) and runs until Friday (20) at Teatro Municipal de S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o on the coast of S\u00e3o Paulo. Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/a><\/strong> Marketing director Janine Bezerra Menezes (pictured, R)<\/em> participated in the opening ceremony panel. The event was organized by the Ministry of Agriculture in partnership with National Agency of Waterway Transport, Brazilian Navy, and Municipality of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

During her speech, Menezes stressed the importance of the Arab countries for the living cattle trade. \u201cOver the last five years, the industry saw an average growth of 6.2% per year, grossing USD 153.46 million in 2018,\u201d she reported. This figure accounts for 29% of total exports from Brazil, meaning that almost a third of the living cattle Brazil exports has an Arab country as its destination.<\/p>\n

The Arab world is the second largest destination of living animals \u2013 cattle and horses \u2013 from Brazil, trailing only Turkey. Main buyers are Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry growth in Brazil is related to the needs of countries like Lebanon, whose trade has developed since 2005. Egypt, currently the top Arab buyer of cattle from Brazil, has increased its trade since 2009, trailing only Jordan and Iraq,\u201d said Menezes.<\/p>\n

The director stressed the importance of the Port of S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o, which is now the main logistics outlet of living cattle to the Arab countries, up 192% year-on-year in living cargo.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding the Arab demand, we see that there are still many opportunities to be explored. While these countries are important importers of cattle from Brazil, we have only a 13% market share. We can increase our exports significance, as well as diversifying markets,\u201d Menezes said.<\/p>\n

Brazil is one of the world\u2019s largest living cattle exporters. According to the Ministry of Economy, last year saw exports of 810,000 head of cattle, up 102.2% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Companhia Docas de S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o reports that living cattle exports are carried out in accordance to norms and procedures established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA). The body follows and supervises the process from the cattle quarantine in the farm to the road transport and shipping.<\/p>\n
