The Brazilian government is set to change the evaluation criteria for Argentine frozen hake for the next 60 days, a move that will positively impact 70% of exports from Patagonia and Mar del Plata. This decision was announced during a trade mission led by Argentina's Minister of Agriculture, Julián Domínguez, by Argentine ambassador Daniel Scioli. The two countries will also work on agreeing on shared evaluation criteria with SENASA during this period. The change is welcomed by Argentine businessmen and is expected to boost exports and help balance Argentina's trade balance.
