Mexico approves health certificate for imports of Brazilian eggs

A joint note released by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Agriculture and Food Supplies reports that the Mexican authorities approved the proposed International Animal Health Certificate for the export of poultry eggs, by-products, and parts; this opens the doors of the Mexican market to Brazilian exports of these products.

In addition, Mexico opened a multi-year tariff quota for the import of paddy rice. The volume of the product authorized to enter at zero tariff is 30,000 tons up to 12/31/2020, and 75,000 tons in the period from 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2021.

In 2019, Brazil exported fresh poultry eggs valued at almost US$4.8 million and US $ 5.1 million worth of egg by-products and parts. It also exported US$ 59 million infertile eggs to an incubator, including US$ 7.9 million to Mexico.

The greater penetration of Brazilian exports of eggs and by-products and paddy rice into the Mexican market represents more opportunities for national agribusiness. These products occupy an increasing space in the trade agenda between Brazil and Mexico.
