Brazil can now sell these products to China thanks to the protocol signed between the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) and the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) on sanitary and quarantine requirements for processed protein from terrestrial animals.
Processed poultry and pork protein includes meat and bone meal, bones, blood, and feathers among other products, and is used in the manufacture of animal feed. Brazil is among the largest exporters of terrestrial animal proteins, after the European Union, the United States, and Australia. China is the third-largest buyer of the product.
According to the protocol, businesses interested in trading with China must have a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) quality management system and effective traceability. Only raw materials from animals born and raised in Brazil in areas free of foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, African swine fever, swine vesicular disease, and highly pathogenic avian influenza, slaughtered in officially authorized establishments and subjected to ante- and post-mortem inspection can be exported.
