Mexico, Brazil Seek to Strengthen Agri-Food Trade

Francisco Calderón, Director, SENASICA, met with Fernando Coimbra, Brazil’s Ambassador to Mexico, to outline their agendas to provide food and increase market opportunities for producers in both countries. Mexico imports Brazilian poultry meat and recently-authorized pork imports from the state of Santa Catarina. Coimbra requested an authorization to export from the states of Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, since, according to him, a similar strategy to the one applied in Santa Catarina could be used to achieve this. On the other hand, Calderón announced that Mexico will seek to progressively strengthen its exports of products, such as avocado, lemon and asparagus, to Brazil. Both delegations agreed to hold work meetings over the next few days to advance the bilateral agenda.
