Mexican Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, Víctor Villalobos Arámbula, stated that the Federal Inspection Type (TIF) slaughterhouse will be a pilot model to be replicated along the border. This facility, which will receive supplementary bi-national funding, will reduce the export of live animals to the United States and increase the export of high-quality cuts to the neighboring country, without neglecting the national supply, informed Villalobos Arámbula.
The Governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo Montaño, explained that the design of the business plan includes private investment and the incorporation of the producers themselves as partners and the eventual organization of a cooperative society.
Sonora has 23 Federal Inspection Type (TIF) establishments, where animals are slaughtered and meat products are cut, boned, processed, and stored. The main activity is pig slaughter. Fifteen of the TIF establishments in the state are authorized to export to the United States, Canada, Korea, Japan, and China.
