The Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA) celebrated the announcement made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, about the opening of the Cambodian market for pork from Brazil.
Fresh and processed pork from industries authorized by the Federal Inspection Service (SIF) of Brazil can now be received in Cambodia.
According to the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin, the Southeast Asian country with just over 15 million inhabitants is undergoing an intense process of urbanization and an increase in per capita income, which influences the growth potential of meat consumption per capita. Pork consumption today is 10 kilos per person per year.
“Cambodia is an emerging hog-producing nation, but has recently been impacted by cases of African swine fever. In this context, Brazil must establish itself as a solid partner to complement the local demand, helping the food security of the Cambodian population, ” says Santin.
