Abstract

The volume of exports of pork dropped 17.88 percent in May compared with the same period in 2012, impacted by an interruption of the purchases by Ukraine, by data of association representing the industries of the sector. The Ukraine has suspended imports of the Brazilian product in March, 2013 claiming the presence of a bacterium. The Brazil exported 43,854 tons in may, against 53,404 tons in may 2012.The numbers demonstrate, without a doubt, the leftover temporary restraining effect. Still we follow with expectations in resolving the impasse with the country (Abipecs). In April, 2013, the Ukraine has reached 1,655 import tons of pork from Brazil.

In relation to the recipe, the reduction in sales was 17.58% percent compared with the previous year, when Brazil won 138.38 million dollars.Year to date, sales total 199,889 tonnes against 224,870 tonnes in the same period in 2012, 11.11% percent reduction. With the result, the first five months of the year 2013 totaled 531.42 million dollars, a fall of 8.21% percent compared with the same period in 2012, when the recipe was 578.95 million.

The easing of international trade barriers has meant that less competitive countries are under increasing pressure from imports by more efficient countries with lower costs of production with the real possibility that these highly efficient countries may soon dominate the world swine market. Small inefficient swine operations within these countries are disappearing at an everincreasing rate. However the swine industries of less competitive countries may be protected by in
