The plants are 15 beef packers and 27 poultry packers that can now sell to the Arab country after Egypt\u2019s General Organization for Veterinary Services issued the accreditation on March 31.<\/p>\n<p>The agricultural attach\u00e9 of the Embassy of Brazil to Cairo, Cesar Simas Teles, told ANBA the Arab country has also renewed the accreditation of 95 exporters that were already in the marketing, including 82 bovine slaughterhouses. According to Teles, the negotiation for the new accreditations involved the Secretariat of Trade and Foreign Relations and the Secretariat of Agricultural Defense of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, as well as Brazil\u2019s Embassy in Egypt and Egyptian health offices.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab country\u2019s search to expand its suppliers gave results amid fears regarding food supply due to the coronavirus crisis. \u201cThis negotiation started in the beginning of the year. Brazil and Egypt are negotiating and sharing information to green light the Brazilian animal inspection system. I believe this pandemic has just speed up a decision that was close to be taken,\u201d Teles said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the attach\u00e9, the new accreditations show the Egyptian government\u2019s confidence in the Brazilian system. \u201cIf the Egyptian government recognizes the Brazilian animal health system, this will allow Brazil to recommend plants that are fit to export and save the resources spent in the Egyptian audits in Brazilian facilities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding poultry, Egypt imported 51,000 tonnes from Brazil in 2019 for USD 67.9 million. As for beef exports from Brazil, Egypt was the third largest market, purchasing 165,000 tonnes last year for USD 484 million.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last months, because of China\u2019s green light and the climb in Brazilian beef prices, though, Egypt has lost space among the shipments of the product. \u201cIn 2019, Egypt was the third largest market for beef from Brazil, which puts it in a high-profile position. These new plants could increase exports from Brazil, but the Egyptian market is highly responsive to prices, and the hike in international prices made exports from Brazil decrease,\u201d Teles said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-267044\">Press Release\/Abiec<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among the new plants that can export to the Arab country, 15 are beef packers and 27 are poultry packers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2324,"featured_media":267044,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[9803,7444,41938,1869,13870,12364,11912,5307,9561,9557],"class_list":{"0":"post-271094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-agribusiness","8":"tag-egypt-en","9":"tag-accreditation","10":"tag-aves-en","11":"tag-beef","12":"tag-bovine-meat","13":"tag-carne-bovina-en","14":"tag-carne-de-frango-en","15":"tag-chicken-meat","16":"tag-exports-en","17":"tag-poultry-en"},"wps_subtitle":"Among the new plants that can export to the Arab country, 15 are beef packers and 27 are poultry packers.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
