AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEU Food Safety Update: Ireland’s FSAI welcomed the EU’s move to tighten “third country” food import rules, with a new list of countries cleared on antimicrobial controls—covering over 90 nations and including Mercosur partners Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay—but excluding Brazil, meaning Brazilian animal-product imports may be blocked from September 3, 2026. Trade Pressure on Health Standards: Brazil is already pushing back, arguing it was caught off guard and plans legal/diplomatic steps, while EU officials link the decision to antimicrobial use across an animal’s full lifecycle. Paraguay’s Wider Momentum: Paraguay’s economy also showed strength early in 2026, with reported 4.7% growth in Q1, and the country is looking to build on meat-export wins by targeting Philippines grain and feed demand. World Cup Build-Up: Paraguay’s World Cup return continues with a 55-player preliminary squad under coach Gustavo Alfaro, as the tournament countdown tightens.
