[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 260278, member: 97"] [i][b]And the US consumer is still forced to eat generic "Guess Where it Came From" beef......[/b][/i] :( :mad: Brazil Beef Exports To US May Grow, 1 Plant Suspended-Reports Agriculture Online August 16, 2006 SAO PAULO (Dow Jones[b])--In coming weeks, Brazil is likely to issue export licenses to three more meatpackers to ship processed Brazilian beef to the U.S. - a step which could boost Brazilian beef sales to the country as much as 15% to 20%,[/b] according to a press report in local Agencia Estado wire on Wednesday. Currently 20 plants have authorization to sell meat to the U.S., said Nelmon Oliveira da Costa, the director of the animal products inspection department at Brazil's Agricultural Ministry, according to the report. However, three more plants could be granted export licenses, pending the approval of a U.S. team of agricultural inspectors that arrived in Brazil on Wednesday to evaluate sanitary conditions at several of the country's meatpacking plants. They will be in the country until Sept. 12. In other news, however, the Agricultural Ministry on Friday temporarily suspended the export license of a Sao Paulo plant of the country's No. 2 beef exporter Bertin last Friday due to a complaint from the U.S. about the specifications of one shipment, according to local Valor Economico newspaper. The plant, which is located in the municipality of Lins in the interior of Sao Paulo state, will be visited by the U.S. team on Monday and Tuesday. If it passes inspection, the plant could return to exporting beef within 90 days. If the plant is excluded from the approved U.S. list of beef exporters, however, it may not be allowed to ship meat for a full year. However, Agricultural Ministry officials have said that the problem occurred during the shipment of the cargo, as opposed to at the factory. "It wasn't a loss of control of the factory process, but just a problem of logistics," said Nelmon Oliveira, according to the Valor report. [b]Sanitary conditions at Brazilian meatpacking plants have been a trade issue[/b] between Brazil and the U.S. in recent months. Last year, the U.S. inspection team banned meat from plants of some of the country's major meatpackers, including a Sao Paulo plant owned by Friboi, a plant in Rio Grande do Sul owned by Pampeano, and a plant in Minas Gerais state owned by Kerry. After that, the suspension was extended to 28 Brazilian meatpackers, as the U.S. asked Brazil to revise its technical procedures as well as control systems for meat-processing. In 2005, the U.S. bought roughly $205.7 million of processed beef from Brazil. In the first seven months of this year, the U.S. has purchased $167.5 million of the product. Brazil is the world's leading beef exporter. -By Grace Fan; Dow Jones Newswires agriculture.com [/QUOTE]
