China licences receipt of Brazilian fish imports from another 11 companies

According to the Brazilian Association of Pisciculture (Peixe BR), China enabled 11 more plants in 9 states to export farmed fish. “With this qualification, we have the real opportunity to send our products to a large consumer market, which has been the main destination for Brazilian exports,” commented Francisco Medeiros, president of Peixe BR.

The companies authorized to export tilapia to China are Copacol (PR), Neptune (BA), Trout NR (MG), Vitalmar (SC), Global Food (SP), C.Vale (PR), Zaltana (RO), Frigopesca (MT), Lakes Fish (GO), Pescado DuVale (RO) and Bem Bom Pescados (GO).

“We are celebrating because we are confident in the quality of Brazilian fish, which meets the highest standards of quality and food safety. We are constantly working to improve our processes, eliminating possibilities of supply failure or irregularity,” adds Medeiros.

In 2019, tilapia was consolidated as the flagship of international business, with a 19% increase in export volume. “Our production potential is huge and with the demand for fish from China, we have the chance to leverage our numbers exponentially,” pointed out the president of Peixe BR.
