Russia Lifts Ban On Imports From Six Brazilian States

On March 2, Russia lifted its ban on beef and pork imports from six Brazilian states, which have been declared free of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Brazil can resume meat exports to Russian processors from approved plants and cold storage facilities in Rio-Grande do Sul, Parana, Sao Paulo, Mato Grosso de Sul, Goias and Minas Gerais.

It is unclear whether these exports must be from animals slaughtered after the lifting of the ban. 

The six states and the state of Catarina, which is already allowed to export to Russia, are the main exporters of pork and beef to Russia, providing all the beef and 80 percent of the pork imported to Russia before the ban, according to the Brazilian Pork Meat Industry and Exporter Association. Russia’s Institute of Agrarian Marketing and importers predict that Russia’s meat prices will fall by 10 percent.
