The Paraguayan Meat Chamber (CPC) expects local meat production to enter the United States market by December this year, explained the vice president of the union, Korni Pauls. It was within the framework of the Meat Night held at the headquarters of the Rural Association of Paraguay (ARP) during the 75th National Livestock Exhibition 2021.
The sector leader explained that in November, professional technicians from the United States are expected to arrive in the country to verify at least 10 refrigeration plants.
The inspectors will work with Senacsa. We hope that the results will be positive in such a way that Paraguayan beef reaches the North American market, he said.
He added that Paraguay has high quality beef, which positions the country as one of the largest exporters of red protein that reaches some 40 countries in the world.
As of August 2021, exports of beef, offal, products and by-products of animal origin register just over US $ 1,420 million in export value. This represented a total of 434,859 tons shipped to the various markets in Paraguay, according to Senacsa data.
The shipments registered during the past year until the month of August reached the sum of US $ 830 million in terms of export values and a total of 317,018 tons from January to August 2020.
“Paraguay has great potential, we must take advantage of the quality of our meat products and gain more markets and increase foreign trade,” said the vice president of the CPC.
