Recently, André de Paula, Brazil’s Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, and Zhu Qingqiao, China’s Ambassador to Brazil, signed the revised version of the “China-Brazil Animal Health Agreement” in Brazil, formally opening the Chinese market to Brazilian pork by-products.
Newly permitted products for export to China include edible by-products such as liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, diaphragm, pork skin, certain types of cartilage, bones, and pork with bones; Pig trotters, ears, and tails, which were previously approved, remain on the list.
According to estimates by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), the agreement will drive annual exports of over 100,000 metric tons of Brazilian pork by-products to China, generating more than $100 million in additional export revenue. Of this total, the state of Santa Catarina has an annual export potential of 65,900 metric tons, while the state of Rio Grande do Sul exceeds 40,000 metric tons.
Please note: This agreement constitutes a standalone sanitary access arrangement and is not subject to the safeguard measures China has implemented on Brazilian beef (such as quotas and a 55% surcharge on excess volumes). Companies must complete registration and certification with the General Administration of Customs of China before they can export; the signing of the agreement does not automatically grant export eligibility.
This initiative aims to enhance value-added throughout the entire live hog slaughter chain and optimize the economic benefits of Brazil’s existing slaughter capacity by tapping into China’s high-demand market.
