The US market opened the imports to the Brazilian fresh beef in August 2016 and has gone through natural adjustments. Marfrig clarifies that this suspension is not related to a sanitary issue, and is confident that the Brazilian government will take all necessary measures to quickly resume the Brazilian fresh beef exports to the United States market.
The suspension decreed by the US government does not affect the other markets supplied by the Company, and Marfrig continues to sell its products to more than 100 countries and to the Brazilian domestic market. Marfrig also continues to supply the US market through its units located in Uruguay.
