Peru's health authorities approved in the last week of 2022 the first Brazilian establishment for the export of pork to the Andean country.

The authorization is the final step towards the start of sales of the Brazilian product to Peru, which had already opened its doors to the Sector of Brazil with the definition in 2021 of an International Health Certificate (CSI).

The qualification for exports to the South American country is carried out after the completion of the individual qualification process of the establishments – in the case of the enabled production unit, located in Acre (border state with Peru), was concluded after a long negotiation between the two countries.

"This is an important step for the internationalization of the region in the supply of swine products, thanks to the strong commitment of the Ministry of Agriculture, especially its attaché, and the Brazilian Embassy in Lima. The flow of trade is expected to begin as early as the first half of 2023 and Brazil should act in a complementary and respecting local production", says the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
