São Paulo – Kátia Abreu, Brazil’s minister of Agriculture, will go to Saudi
Arabia next week to continue negotiations for the reopening of the market to
Brazilian beef exports and to attend the Business Forum South America- Arab
Countries, on November 8th and 9th, an event leading up to the 4th Summit South
American-Arab Countries (Aspa, in the Portuguese and Spanish acronym), scheduled
for November 10th and 11th in Riyadh, the country’s capital.
The Arab nation suspended beef imports at the end of 2012, when the
Brazilian government announced that an animal from the Paraná state herd, which
died in 2010, was carrying the causing agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE), aka mad cow disease, without, however, developing the disease.
Since then, government officials from both countries had several meetings
to discuss the resumption of exports. In June, for instance, Saudi authorities
were in Brazil to visit beef producing plants to get to know the Brazilian
sanitary controls, with the goal to support a decision about the embargo. The
expectation now is for negotiations to advance.
In the business forum, the minister will speak on investment opportunities
in Brazilian agribusiness.
After Saudi Arabia, Abreu will go to the United Arab Emirates and has
meetings scheduled with authorities and businesspersons in the capital Abu
Dhabi. After, she will go to India and China.
Agribusiness exports from Brazil to Saudi Arabia fetched USD 1.52 billion
from January to August, up 7.25% from a year ago, according to the Ministry of
Agriculture. Sales to the UAE grossed USD 831 million, down 25.5%.
Diplomacy
Foreign Ministry sources said some of the main topics on the Aspa summit’s
agenda will be the issue of refugees fleeing conflicts in Syria and other
countries in the region, as well as the conflicts in themselves, i.e.
international affairs.
The primary concern regarding refugees is the multitudes trying to reach
Europe, whereas Brazil, despite its distance, issued over 8,000 visas to people
fleeing the civil war in Syria, and granted refugee status to over 2,000.
Other important topics, according to the Ministry, will be energy, food
security, the environment, desertification, water resource management,
South-South cooperation in healthcare, and trade agreements. It is worth noting
that the Mercosur is in talks for agreements of this sort with several Arab
countries, and some such treaties have been signed, such as with Egypt.

I asked someone recently, what sort of hunting legacy do you want to leave
your children, did you want to have where all you have are blind, slobbering,
drooling, stumbling, or maybe even healthy looking subclinical cwd infected
cervid, to go on and expose who knows what (cause cwd is spreading, it has
mutated, and nobody can seem to stop it so far), but is this what we want to
leave our children? the only answer I ever seem to get from anyone in the
industry, is just let cwd take care of itself. how is that working out for us so
far? my opinion, until we have a 100% validated live test for cwd tse prion (and
we don’t yet)
in my opinion, the scorched earth policy is the only policy available. and
then what do you do with the land? ($$$)
this cwd tse prion must be stopped. the vertical and lateral transmission
of this cwd tse prion agent amongst cervids, if cwd jumps species (if it has not
already), and transmits the same ways vertical and lateral in other species, and
the other species are as susceptible from so many different routes and sources,
simply put, we’re screwed, if we are not screwed already, I mean the mad cow bse
tse prion been out of the barn here in North America for Decades, just saying.
I am not trying to scare anyone, I am simply presenting the facts, you must
make your own decision or not. we have ignored these tse prion disease way too
long. right now seems policy is just to change the name of them, and call it a
day, (that would take to long to explain i.e. ibnc bse tse or the infamous
sporadic ffi or sporadic gss that is not tied to any family link...GET OUT OF
HERE...iatrogenic maybe from ffi or gss, maybe) but to let lobbyist and their
legislators make up the science and the policy making for cwd tse pron there
from, and continue to ignore sound science, is a terrible mistake in my opinion.
like I said, if and when, a tse mutates into humans like cwd in cervid, we
are screwed. we have been extremely lucky so for, with the _documented_ body bag
count, with the science to date i.e. the UKBSEnvCJD only theory (I have highly
disputed this from day one, and since then have been proven correct by science,
but on paper, it’s the same old shit still i.e. UKBSEnvCJD only theory).
how many have we missed ???
