Myanmar opens its markets to Brazilian pork
Jul, 28, 2020 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202031
Brazil is now allowed to export pork to Myanmar. According to the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), this market already has an International Health Certificate (CSI) published in the Brazilian Ministry’s system. This was informed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply.
Myanmar has 53 million inhabitants, with an average per capita consumption of 17.5 kilograms of pork per year. According to the president of ABPA, Francisco Turra, Myanmar is one of the nations in Asia that has suffered due to the African Swine Fever, with a direct impact on the local supply of animal protein. “In this context, Brazil, which is already a supplier of chicken to Myanmar, now consolidates its position in the pork sector”, emphasizes Turra. There are still no details on the number of Brazilian slaughterhouses that have been allowed to export.
