Central American businessmen agreed to adjudicate the meat quota assigned by the European Union to the country that first complies with the required food safety and traceability requirements.
The region had to decide how to distribute a quota of 9.500 yearly tons of meat that can be shipped to Europe without paying tariffs.
Nicaragua aims to get 80% of this quota. “Onel Pérez, president of the Nicaraguan Meat Packers chamber (Canicarne), stated that Nicaragua is the country most capable of exporting most of that quota in two or three years”, reported Laprensa.com.ni.
