The measure has been taken in an attempt to meet US requirements on the sanitary inspection of Brazilian establishments authorized to export beef meat to that country.
A US technical delegation in Brazil between March and April 2005 fund irregularities in the sanitary inspection of local beef processing plants exporting to the USA. As a result, the USA withdrew the licence of three Brazilian beef exporters and temporarily suspended imports from five others in early April 2005.
The decision of the Brazilian agriculture ministry to suspend beef exports to the USA affected all the 28 Brazilian beef producers authorised to export the product to that country.
Brazilian authorities expect the beef exports to the USA to be restored within three weeks. In the meantime, the commodity will be redirected to other foreign markets, such as Russia, and to the domestic market.
