S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Morocco has launched a tender to import 3,000 tons of frozen beef and 1,000 tons of frozen camel meat. The products will be supplied to the Arab country\u2019s Armed Forces. According to the National Defense Administration\u2019s tender notice, bids must be submitted by March 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the tender notice, Morocco justifies its intention to import beef from Brazil on the grounds that sanitary agreements and certificates are in force between the two countries. Among the requirements are that the animals must be born and slaughtered in the country, fed with plant-based feed, originate from states officially certified as free of parasites and diseases, and comply with halal slaughter procedures, which follow Islamic rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the document, the frozen meat must come from recent production, no more than three months after slaughter. The product will be reviewed by a commission to verify compliance with Morocco\u2019s sanitary requirements.
