Joint Work Plan
According to the memorandum, Brazil and Mexico will carry out the exchange of information, technologies, and best practices, as well as technical visits and strategic actions to facilitate bilateral trade.
A working group with representatives from the technical areas of both countries will be created to identify points of common interest, plan, implement, and update the Work Plan.
Highlighting Trade Relations
In addition to the signing, the meeting advanced commercial negotiations. Carlos Fávaro emphasized the importance of the partnership with Mexico and highlighted Brazil’s commitment to cattle traceability.
He recalled that the opening of the Mexican market for beef and pork has already brought significant results.
Brazilian beef exports have grown by about 250% in 2 years and 8 months. In the same period, sales of pork increased by 95% and chicken by 14%.
The minister stated that these advances benefit both sides. For Brazil, they represent growth in exports. For Mexico, they mean access to quality meats, aligned with the national food inflation combat program.
Mexico’s Commitments
Secretary Julio Berdegué highlighted that the country has committed to analyze, within ten days, regionalization protocols in cases of infection in poultry farms.
This ensures the continuity of Brazilian chicken exports.
He also emphasized the recommendation of the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, to seek Brazilian experience in combating hunger and poverty.
This strategy, according to him, is an international reference and has led to Brazil being recognized by the UN as out of the Hunger Map again.
New Advances in Negotiations
Vice President Geraldo Alckmin reinforced the importance of this cooperation and highlighted the progress in negotiations.
In addition to the commitment to regionalization for chicken trade, there was progress in negotiations for the import of Mexican peaches by Brazil.
Measures to expand the Brazilian tuna market in Mexico were also discussed.
The meeting marked another step in strengthening trade relations between Brazil and Mexico.
