SINDIRAÇÕES, the Brazilian National Animal Feed Industry Association, signed the formal recognition agreement with EUREPGAP on 17 April 2007 in São Paulo, Brazil. After completing the benchmarking procedure among the first group af Compound Feed Manufacturers Standards, the Brazilian Feed Certification Scheme is the first organisation to sign the agreement to demonstrate that they intend to continue to follow the EUREPGAP requirements.
„We have been working towards this for the past two years, and are proud to achieve this milestone for harmonization for feed and food standards“, said Mario Sergio Cutait, President of SINDIRAÇÕES, at the IFIF Global Feed and Food conference in São Paulo, „The signature marks for us the beginning of a new era. As strong member of the Global Partnership for Safe and Sustainable Agriculture we want to contribute to its growth.“
For Kristian Moeller, Secretary EUREPGAP, the approval and commitment of SINDIRAÇÕES opens up lots of opportunities for the Brazilian livestock sector. Being able to buy EUREPGAP approved feed is an important component for farms achieving full EUREPGAP certification and demonstrating their ability to meet global customer demands for their meat products.
