Abrafrigo criticizes number of institutions imposing COVID-19 related rules on the meat industry
Jul, 10, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202028
The Brazilian Slaughterhouse Association (Abrafrigo) released a note in which it criticizes the excess of institutions involved and the norms created to combat Covid-19 at the establishments it represents. According to the entity, this is causing conflicts of interpretation by both companies and institutions.
It said, there are divergences in the rules determined by states and municipalities, which makes it difficult for industries to comply with the rules. “Although the intended objective is commendable, there is already a Joint Ordinance 19/2020 of the Ministries of Agriculture, Health and Economy through which all the prevention rules for the slaughterhouse industry are in place. These are being faithfully enforced by the sector, with due inspection by the Federal Agricultural Inspectors,” said the entity.
It is worth remembering that the operation of the slaughterhouses is essential to keep up Brazil’s strong animal protein exports, which have been breaking records, as can be seen in the graph below:
