Egypt approves import of Brazilian thermo-processed poultry
Jul, 23, 2020 Posted by Neeharika KhaitanWeek 202030
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa), the Egyptian authorities have approved the import of thermo-processed poultry products produced in Brazil.
The authorization is valid for plants that are already authorized for the Egyptian market and that currently ship whole chickens. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture will update the International Health Certificate (CSI) for these plants. With this, Brazil now has 82 foreign markets at its disposal for agricultural product exports since January 2019.
According to data from the sector, Egypt is the 14th main importer of chicken from Brazil. Between January and June this year, Egypt imported 39,100 tonnes, a volume that exceeded the total shipped in the first half of 2019 by 27%.
The following graph shows Brazilian chicken exports to Egypt in the first five months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019:
