Tridge summary

A Uruguayan delegation led by the Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries, Fernando Mattos, successfully reopened the Malaysian market for halal beef and sheep from Uruguay. This follows intensive efforts by the MGAP, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and INAC over the past year to regain access to one of the world's most stringent halal markets. The delegation also focused on enhancing Uruguayan meat's presence in Southeast Asia and easing the export of Uruguayan wood to Malaysia by removing the double phytosanitary requirement. Further discussions will cover a memorandum of understanding between Uruguay and Malaysia to improve livestock production, including the export of genetic material, nutrition training, management, and traceability systems.
