The Nicaraguan Institute for Agricultural Protection and Health is dedicated to ensuring the quality and safety of beef products in Nicaragua. The institute has implemented measures to reduce contaminants and punish the sale of inferior products. In 2020, Nicaragua's beef exports exceeded 158,000 tons, primarily to China, the US, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, making it the largest beef producer and exporter in Central America. This growth has brought significant economic benefits to the country and established it as a model for safe food production.
