Abiec and CQIC form partnership to improve the logistics of beef exports from Brazil to China.

THE Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec) and the Chongqing Investment Consulting Co. Ltd (CQIC) During the Sial China trade show this week, two companies signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at improving and modernizing the logistics of Brazilian beef exports to China. With the central objective of reducing costs, the partnership intends to build cold chain storage facilities for beef in Brazil, addressing a need in the meatpacking sector, particularly for smaller plants. As explained by the president of Abiec, Roberto Perosa, to Globo Rural, the association will select locations for the construction of large-scale cold storage warehouses, processing and distribution centers, and temperature-controlled rotation facilities. The investment and execution of the project will be the responsibility of CQIC, a state-owned company linked to the Chinese government. The goal will be to build and lease these facilities. warehouses"We're going to try to direct and make several small investments in smaller meat processing plants. This can improve the flow of goods here and provide even more storage security, so if a problem occurs, such as a disease outbreak, the company has meat stored and doesn't need to stop production," Perosa told Globo Rural.
