The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy announced this Monday the opening of the Ecuadorian market for the export of lemons, sweet citrus fruits - including oranges, mandarins and grapefruit - and bone-in beef of Argentine origin.  This new advance in bilateral trade was consolidated after a series of meetings between representatives of the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA) of Argentina and the Agency for Phyto and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control (Agrocalidad) of Ecuador, in Buenos Aires.  The agreement includes the definition of the work plans and the sanitary certificate necessary for the export of Argentine meat, which were ratified in a meeting between Pablo Cortese, president of SENASA, and Patricio Almeida, executive director of Agrocalidad. These documents establish the requirements to ensure the quality and sanitary safety of the products that will be exported to Ecuador.

SENASA and the Ecuadorian Agrocalidad Agency, in a joint effort with the Argentine Foreign Ministry and S.A.G.yP., agreed on the work plans and the health certificate that enable the trade of these products.

Argentina has succeeded in opening the Ecuadorian market for the export of lemon and sweet citrus fruits (orange, mandarin and grapefruit), while it will be able to increase its meat shipments to that country with bone-in beef cuts, which until now have been prohibited due to the risk of foot-and-mouth disease. The work plans to enable these operations and the health certificate for the export of Argentine meat were agreed upon during a meeting held in Buenos Aires by the president of the National Service for Food Safety and Quality (Senasa), Pablo Cortese, and the executive director of the Agency for Phytosanitary and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control (Agrocalidad) of Ecuador, Patricio Almeida. After reporting on the completion of the pest risk analyses for lemon and sweet citrus fruits, the Ecuadorian agency and the local health service held a series of technical exchanges to establish the phytosanitary export requirements.
