The Brazilian Rural Society (SRB) has backed calls from the Mato Grosso Breeders Association (Acrimat) for a review of the 2015 agreement on Brazilian beef exports to China, following a rare case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE or 'mad cow' disease) in Pará. The SRB argues that the disease poses no risk to the herd or consumers and believes the current protocol, which has led to Embargoes and losses for both countries, should be simplified. The SRB is willing to discuss the issue and help in the creation of a new agreement.
