China has temporarily suspended beef imports from four Brazilian slaughterhouses, two operated by JBS SA and two by Marfrig. The Chinese government did not detail the reasons for the beef plants it banned. Beijing’s decision came shortly after authorities from Brazil and China agreed on advancing the bilateral trade agenda, in talks that included an agreement on a protocol to export Brazilian corn to China.
