China allows three Brazilian plants to resume beef shipments, group says

China has authorized three ‌Brazilian meat-packing plants to resume beef shipments following a 2025 suspension, Brazilian ​industry group Abiec said on ​Wednesday (20), after officials from both ⁠countries met in Beijing.

“This move ​represents an important achievement for the ​sector and reinforces China’s confidence in the Brazilian sanitary system and the ​quality of beef produced in ​Brazil,” Abiec said in a statement.

Among the ‌plants ⁠cleared by the Chinese is the Mozarlandia unit of JBS , the world’s largest meatpacker, Abiec head ​Roberto Perosa ​told ⁠Reuters.

Brazil is the world’s largest beef exporter, and ​China its top customer.

Here’s a monthly breakdown of beef exports bound for China, according to the latest intelligence from Datamar:
