BRF SA of Brazil announced that Canada has authorized imports of chicken wings from two plants located in Mato Grosso State. With the most recent approval of the Nova Mutum and Lucas do Rio Verde plants, BRF now has authorization to ship chicken products from 15 facilities.
Brazil is extremely aggressive in export activities and their intent to ship chicken wings to our northern neighbor and member of the USMCA represents competition for both the U.S. and also the domestic Canadian industries.
