Minerva Paraguay gains access to US beef market
Final bureaucratic procedures required to exportBrazilian meatpacker Minerva said on Monday it has been informed by Paraguayan authorities of the approval of a health protocol set to open the US market for Paraguayan beef exports, reported Reuters.
Minerva, which owns four plants in Paraguay, said in a securities filing only final bureaucratic procedures are now required for the exports to be effectively cleared.
"That's an important step for the country's beef producers and could open opportunities in other markets that follow similar sanitary standards," the Brazilian company said.
