Egypt has resumed imports of Brazilian meat, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on Saturday picked up by Reuters. The ministry added that the imports would be subject to checks in both Brazil and Egypt. The move comes only a few days after the ministry announced it was suspending all imports of Brazilian mean after Brazilian authorities reported that they have been investigating the meat industry in what appears to be a widespread bribery scandal involving quality control officials. Bloomberg and the Financial Times have more. Egypt is Brazil’s second-largest market for beef after China and ahead of Russia, data from the news service shows.
