Saudi Arabia Opens Market For Brazilian Goats
(MENAFN- Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA))
São Paulo – Saudi Arabia approved Brazilian exports of goats to its market. The information was announced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil after minister Carlos Fávaro visited the Arab country, where he stayed until this Monday (31).
Fávaro discussed the subject with the minister of the Environment, Water, and Agriculture of Saudi Arabia, Abdulrahman Al Fadley (pictured above, meeting with Al Fadley). According to the Ministry of Agriculture, with the measure, Brazilian businesses interested in exporting goats to Saudi Arabia must request authorization from it.
After meetings in the country, Fávaro also announced the formation of a working group between Brazil and Saudi Arabia to structure a partnership in the sustainable food production program in Brazil, which aims to convert low-productivity pastures into arable areas.
According to the Ministry, negotiations were also carried out for the regionalization of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) protocol at the meeting with Al Fadley in case of detection of outbreaks in commercial plants.
Thus, restrictions on exporting poultry protein are limited to municipalities where bird flu outbreaks have been detected and not the entire state. Brazil reported cases of the disease in wild birds and domestic livestock but no cases in commercial production.
During the Brazilian mission to Saudi Arabia, there was also a parallel program for the business delegation accompanying minister Fávaro. The schedule had the support of the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) and the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC).
The trip is part of the Brazilian Ministry's mission to four countries to promote sustainable agribusiness production in Brazil to attract foreign investment. The delegation has already been to South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia and now visits the United Arab Emirates.
