South Korea has cancelled planned technical visits to Brazilian beef processing plants, postponing the process of opening its market to the national product. The information was confirmed this Tuesday (12) by the president of Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (ABIEC)Roberto Perosa. According to Perosa, the qualification process involves complex technical and bureaucratic steps, which may depend on analyses at different levels of the South Korean government. Despite the postponement, the official stated that negotiations are ongoing, but without a defined timeframe for progress. The Secretary of Commerce and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Luis Rua, stated in an interview with CNN Money The rescheduling of sanitary audits is common in international negotiations. Rua also highlighted that similar situations have already occurred in negotiations with Japan and reinforced the expectation of continued talks. The Japanese market also remains on the radar of the Brazilian meat sector. Brazil is awaiting the conclusion of the technical report prepared by Japanese authorities after a visit on April 13th.
