Paraguay Reopens American Market for Meat Exports: Historic Achievement

On Thursday, the Undersecretary of Economic Growth, Energy and Environment of the United States, José W. Fernández, arrived in our country and met with the President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, in order to establish a working group with other national representatives. .

From the embassy they reported that within the framework of the meeting with President Peña, Fernández was able to discuss priority areas of work with the Paraguayan Government such as mutual economic growth, the fight against corruption, and local and regional sustainable development. In addition, the opportunities served for commercial exchange, technology and cybersecurity.

The President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, announced that last Tuesday, November 9, the American market for the export of Paraguayan meat was reopened. The important decision of the United States Agriculture Administration (USDA) comes after 25 years, being a milestone in bilateral trade relations and will have an impact on the country’s economy.

“I am very happy to announce, today, November 9, the reopening of the American market for Paraguayan meat, after 25 years of having kept the market closed!” said President Peña in a message addressed to citizens. In turn, he congratulated producers, industrialists and State organizations that worked to achieve the result of one of the most successful public-private alliance processes in Paraguay.

Our country becomes one of the 18 countries in the world to export meat to that destination, which reflects the continuous commitment to strengthen cooperation between both nations. The USDA approval represents the result of the hard work and dedication of Paraguayan livestock producers and the meat processing industry, as well as compliance with international quality and food safety standards.

The United States ambassador to Paraguay, Marc Ostfield, celebrated that all inspection processes have been passed and that our country became one of the 18 countries authorized for shipments. “Congratulations! “Paraguay is one of the 18 countries in the world that can export beef products to the US. Now, American families will also be able to enjoy a good barbecue, made with quality Paraguayan meat,” he highlighted in his X account. .

For its part, the National Service for Animal Quality and Health (Senacsa) expressed its satisfaction with the opening of the market, considering it a historic achievement, the result of work between the public and private sectors. “We thank the Government and all the sectors involved for the effort made,” they indicated.

At the same time, they redoubled their commitment to continue promoting a transparent, solid and reliable veterinary system. “We look to the future with optimism. We work for a better Paraguay,” they expressed from the veterinary service.
