A delegation of auditors from the Philippines is currently inspecting meatpacking plants for beef, pork, and poultry, with the goal of opening the Philippine market to these domestic products. This initiative is significant as the Philippines, with a population exceeding 120 million, presents a substantial market opportunity. Randy Ross, president of the Paraguayan Meat Chamber, has reported that the mission is progressing well and is expected to continue until the first half of May.
