BELIZE BEEF INDUSTRY GRADUATES TO EXPORT VALUE ADDED MEATS!

Investing in Belize means you get to pioneer a lot. We have fun though! Overcoming challenges is the name of the game and rewarding.


BELIZE BEEF INDUSTRY MOVES TO PHASE TWO OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WITH VALUE ADDED PROCESSING!
There is now a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between Mexico and Belize regarding processed beef exports. Up until now we have in Belize been only able to export live cattle on the hoof.

The growing resorts of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Majahual and throughout the Yucatan peninsular need food products and beef is high on the list of priorities for them.

Mexico has sent technical personnel to Belize to teach what is necessary to export, processed, value added, beef products to Mexico and comply with their laws. The agreement was signed at the Bedran owned farm of Tiger Run Ltd., near mile 63 in the Western Belize District, the East West base line of the northward growing Heartland of Belize development, industrial and agriculture district. This processing meat facility and ranch is the southern part of the Heartland of Belize, abutting the Belize Alps northern range, in the foothills. The Southern half of the country has high potential for development but is currently out of bounds, being held in Reserves.

The two bureaucracies in charge of compliance are SAGARPA in Mexico , the health agency and in Belize the Belize Agriculture Health authority ( BAHA ). Regionally, this new trade deal between Mexico and Belize has been cleared by IICA, the American Institute for Co-operation in Agriculture and the International Regional Organization for Plant and Animal Health ( OIRSA ).
