Brazil’s Agriculture Minister Tereza Cristina Dias tweeted on Monday that China has approved seven meat processing plants in the state of Santa Catarina state for the export of pork, and exports can begin immediately.

This decision is predicted to have been carried out after the visit of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro to China in late October. 

Before the visit, China approved 25 Brazilian meat processing plants for chicken, pork and ass meat exports in earlier September.
