Mexico: In the Nuevo León Agricultural Council, they see the entry of beef from Brazil as a risk

Published Feb 28, 2023

Tridge summary

The Nuevo León Agricultural Council (CEANL) has called on the Mexican government to reconsider the conditions and sanitary regulations for importing Brazilian beef, following a recent case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in Brazil. This comes after the National Agri-Food Health, Safety and Quality Service (Senasica) announced plans to expand commercial relations with Brazil to facilitate beef imports. CEANL is pushing for a suspension of Brazilian bovine meat imports until Brazil can confirm it meets all necessary sanitary standards. This proposal has surprised Mexican ranchers, given the country's self-sufficiency rate in bovine meat, which can reach 110%. This is the second controversy surrounding Mexico's decision to import foreign beef, following a similar dispute with Argentina last year.

From the Nuevo León Agricultural Council (CEANL) they called on the federal authorities to review the terms and sanitary requirements for importing Brazilian beef, derived from the recent case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in the South American country. This happens after Francisco Javier Calderón Elizalde, chief director of the National Agri-Food Health, Safety and Quality Service (Senasica), revealed during the Meat and Dairy Expo 2023 that Mexico opened its market to said animal protein and that they were days away to define the final details, such as the risk analysis. In said event, the official announced that commercial ties with key suppliers would continue to be strengthened to facilitate the importation of meat, this in order for consumers to have access to food at affordable prices.
