The Brazilian Rural Society (SRB) Manifested Publicly This Sunday (02/26) in Favor of the Revocation of the Bilateral Agreement for the Export of Brazilian Beef to China Signed on May 19, 2015.
The SRB reacted to the atypical case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) confirmed in Marabá, Pará, on February 22, urgently requesting the revocation of the bilateral agreement for export of beef and that the issue be debated in the Sectorial Chamber of the Beef Production Chain of the Ministry of Agriculture. The Mato Grosso Cattle Breeders Association (Acrimat) also requested a review of the protocol.
Brazil has been recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health as having an “insignificant risk” for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), thanks to its pasture-based livestock farming and prohibition of animal-origin feed for ruminants. This means that, in atypical cases, the degenerative disease poses no sanitary weight in the country, with no risks for the Brazilian herd or consumer health.
The Cattle Registration Service (SRB), recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health, confirmed that Brazil has the status of “insignificant risk for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy” (BSE). This condition is tied to Brazilian legislation and the fact that the herd is pasture-based and there is no use of animal-origin feed for ruminants.

With only 1% of Brazil’s territory, Santa Catarina has built one of the most competitive industrial parks in the country, with 64,000 companies, nearly 1 million jobs, and a growth rate of 5.3% while the national industry is practically stagnant.
However, as atypical cases of the disease do not pose risks to the Brazilian herd or consumers, the SRB board emphasizes the need to modernize this commercial protocol, establishing a simplified process for atypical cases and avoiding unnecessary embargoes and losses for both countries.
Assocon Requests Reformulation of Sanitary Agreement Between Brazil and China for Beef Export
The entity reiterates that it respects the established protocols and applauds the Animal Defense work in Brazil, but believes that the economic and image consequences for Brazil are infinitely greater than the proportion and importance given to the issue.
The SRB places its board available for discussion, as well as to contribute to the development of a new bilateral agreement that is more suited to the current demands of the productive sector and international trade.
