Mexico and Belize are working on a sanitary control mechanism to expand the import of cattle for immediate slaughter and terminal fattening from Belize. The current protocol allows about 5,000 certified animals a year, all from Orange Walk County.
The update would cover more certified Belizean producers, who must show clear tests for bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis and pass Mexican veterinary inspection.
