Indonesia announces market opening for Brazilian meat imports

The Minister Tereza Cristina (Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply) announced the opening of the Brazilian meat market to Indonesia on Wednesday (08/28). According to the minister, there will be 10 plants authorized to export at least 25,000 tons of beef.

“Today we have received the good news of this achievement. Ten Brazilian refrigeration plants will be ready for this export. This is good for our GDP, it is good for our rural producers, who will have more people buying meat to export, it is good for our refrigerators that can continue to create jobs,” celebrated the minister.

In May, the minister met with Indonesian Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman to discuss the opening of the Brazilian meat market to the Asian country.

During the meeting, the minister pointed out that Brazil is able to meet the Indonesian demand for animal protein, mainly beef, being an alternative and cheaper supplier to meat from Australia, where most of the meat consumed in the country comes from.
