    November 14, 2022: The Brazilian Animal Protein Association ABPA celebrates the opening of a new chapter

    in the factories that are currently allowed.

    animal protein.
     
    Luis, Marketing Director of the Brazilian Animal Protein Association, commented: ̈Brazilian pork exports will go directly to the pork processing channel of the Mexican market as a complement to Mexican pork; In addition, because the World Health Organization has newly recognized the pork of two Brazilian producing regions, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, as free of foot-and-mouth disease, we will continue to promote the export qualification of pork from these two production regions
