Reuters (File photo) / Brazil's Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi looks on during a technical visit at the Brazilian meatpacker JBS SA in the city of Lapa, Parana state, Brazil, March 21, 2017.
Brazilian Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi has pledged to travel to the United States and work to overturn a ban on imports of fresh Brazilian beef after a high percentage of shipments failed to pass U.S. safety checks.
“We will fight for this market!” the minister said in a message posted to social networks late on Thursday. Maggi said corrective measures were already being made, and the government was maintaining its target of raising exports to 10 percent of Brazilian beef production in five years, from 7 percent now.
