Brazil looks to fill Mexico's 30,000 ton poultry quota

Last week, the Mexican government opened a new quota of 30,000 tons on chicken MEAT imports from countries outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA).

Brazilian poultry producers are ready to fill most of the 30,000 tons of chicken meat quota opened last week by the Mexican government. Poultry imports included in this quota are for countries outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). According to the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), Brazilian exporters of the product should benefit from this measure. The quota allows imports without customs duties and is valid for boneless cuts such as breast, thigh, drumstick, and chicken wings. According to ABPA, rising domestic prices for the product may have prompted Mexico to increase purchases from abroad.

“For nearly a decade, we have built strong partnerships with Mexico, especially at times when local supplies are facing domestic sourcing challenges. This is a partnership that has worked and should now be given a new boost by influencing the positive balance of Brazilian exports,” ABPA President Ricardo Santin said in a statement. Despite import duties totaling 75%, Mexico imported 38,300 tons of Brazilian chicken from January to May this year. For the same period last year According to ABPA, this volume amounted to 2,300 tons.
