Brazil moved closer to obtaining approval to export beef to Mexico from more plants as Latin America’s biggest economy seeks new markets after being hit by US tariffs.
Mexican authorities will visit 14 meatpacking plants in Brazil next month to ensure they meet export standards, according to the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association, known as Abiec. The inspections include two facilities owned by JBS NV, one by Marfrig Global Foods SA and three from Minerva SA, South America’s top beef shipper. Officials will also visit units currently authorized to export to renew their licenses.
