Brazil is taking swift action to restart beef exports to China after a single case of atypical mad cow disease was confirmed in a 9-year-old animal in Pará, Brazil. The country's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) confirmed the diagnosis, and Minister Carlos Fávaro quickly briefed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and initiated communication with Chinese authorities. The situation is being handled efficiently and transparently, with immediate implementation of necessary measures and a virtual meeting with China scheduled to discuss export restoration. Specialists remain hopeful for a quick recovery, noting the importance of maintaining a steady meat supply for China to stabilize prices and support economic recovery.
