Brazil’s VP announces British support to reduce bureaucracy in chicken exports

The vice-president of Brazil and the country’s Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, Geraldo Alckmin, announced the UK’s endorsement for the debureaucratization of chicken exports from Brazil, in which chicken meat exporters will have zero cost for issuing Certificates of Origin to the market.

According to Alckmin, there will be an effort to strengthen entrepreneurship and credit possibilities in the country.

“The UK has already accepted it, it’s all digitalized, and you don’t need to pay anything else. Zero. There is no digital fee. It comes out right away; it’s unbureaucratic,” said the minister on Thursday (11).

According to him, the next step is the European Union. By reducing bureaucracy in foreign trade procedures, there is a reduction in costs, and a stimulus to national economic activity, highlights Alckmin.

Certificates of Origin are necessary for products to enter the European Union and United Kingdom markets, with discounts on the import tariffs charged by those destinations.

With the new measure, these documents will be issued digitally so that the exporter will not need to send the physical copy abroad.

Commenting on the meeting, Alckmin said that the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC) will work with Sebrae, a Brazilian autonomous social institution whose aim is to foster the development of micro and small enterprises, also focusing on offering credit, export, and training. “Very fruitful work,” he classified.
