The suspension of export certificates in Saudi Arabia reaches 19 companies in Santa Catarina. The issue was published Wednesday (23) by the Santa Catarina Poultry Association (Acav), based on data from the Ministry of Agriculture. Among them, two industries were actively exporting, namely trade agreements providing for the sending of birds to Arabs in the coming months.
One of the companies is located in the Serra and another in the west of the state. Acav said that the Itaiopolis industry in the North, cited by the badociation on Tuesday, was not on the list of suspensions. According to Jorge de Lima, Chief Executive Officer of Acav, the amount of damage to the state remains incalculable, as companies did not transmit the expected export figures. In addition to the productive sector, the ports of Santa Catarina will also be affected as they act forcefully for the shipment of refrigerated cargoes abroad. Last year, exports of birds accounted for 28% of the movement in the ports of Itajaí and Navegantes
In the sector, the destination of production raises concerns. The industry in the West, for example, was no longer inspected by the Arabs in 2018 because it was fired, that is, the work was temporarily suspended. The company, which exports turkeys, has recently resumed operations.
The Acav intends to build a mission in the production sector in Saudi Arabia next month.
