Russia removes restrictions on JBS and Minerva units

Russia’s agricultural security control agency said it had removed temporary restrictions on the supply of beef by two factories in Brazil as of Friday (11/29).
One of the factories authorized to resume sales to Russia is operated by Minerva and the other by JBS, said Russian regulator Rosselkhoznadzor in a statement.
The agency had imposed temporary restrictions on imports of pork and beef from Brazil in December 2017, after claiming to have found the food additive ractopamine in some cargoes.
Since then, the Russian government has allowed some Brazilian suppliers to resume sales, although some factories, including some run by Minerva and JBS, remain restricted.
Ractopamine allows cattle to grow at a faster rate while consuming less feed. It is prohibited in countries such as Russia and the European Union.
