Last week, BRF SA, a major meat producer and processor in Brazil, announced that its production facility located in Lucas do Rio Verde, State of Mato Grosso, has been authorised to export chicken and pork meat to China.

In November 2022 and in March 2023, the company had already obtained the authorisation to export chicken meat produced, respectively, by Companhia Minuano de Alimentos, an exclusive supplier of products to BRF, and by its production unit located in Marau, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul.

"The new authorization provides relevant proteins production and commercialization capacity, besides promoting flexibility and greater agility to capture the best market opportunities," the company said in a statement.
