Brazil Seeks to Bring Meat Exports to China Up a Notch
May, 24, 2024 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202421
Brazil is set to expand its meat export capabilities to China, according to Agriculture Minister Carlos Fávaro. Speaking at a public hearing held by the Agriculture Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, Fávaro announced that the country is working to increase the number of slaughterhouses qualified to export to China.
Fávaro revealed that upcoming audits by Chinese authorities will assess compliance criteria in groups rather than individually. This streamlined process aims to expedite the approval of more facilities.
In March, the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) authorized a record 38 slaughterhouses in a single round, eyeing to increase Brazil’s animal protein export revenue to China by R$10 billion. However, 32 slaughterhouses could not complete the process due to technical issues.

The minister expressed optimism that nearly all the remaining plants will meet the criteria in the next round of audits. “When we form a group of 10, 15, or 20 slaughterhouses, we will carry out a new audit, and I am confident this number will increase,” Fávaro stated.
The expansion of qualified slaughterhouses is expected to significantly enhance Brazil’s meat export industry, strengthening its trade relationship with China.
