The National Agrarian Health Service of Peru (Senasa) has authorized 36 new Brazilian units for the export of animal genetic material, 31 of which are poultry genetics and 5 are bovine genetic material, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa).
According to the ministry, With the new qualifications, the poultry sector doubles the number of establishments authorized to export to Peru. For bovine genetics, the inclusion of the units represents an increase of 83% in the list of suitable establishments.
The decision also included the renewal of authorizations for all Brazilian establishments that already exported to the Peruvian market, with validity extended until December 2028.
According to Senasa, the extension of the authorization period aims to provide greater predictability to commercial operations between the two countries. The decision was based on technical criteria adopted by the Peruvian health authority.
Last year, Peru imported more than US$729 million in Brazilian agricultural products, with emphasis on items such as forestry products, meats, cereals, flours and preparations.
