Cargill/Pollos El Bucanero achieves historic first for Colombia’s poultry exports
In a significant milestone for Colombia’s agribusiness sector, Cargill/Pollos El Bucanero S.A. has received authorization for its Villa Gorgona facility in Candelaria (Valle del Cauca) as the country’s first plant approved to export frozen halal chicken to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This accreditation marks a historic achievement for the Colombian poultry industry, opening doors to new international markets and establishing Colombia as a prominent player in halal food exports.
According to a public statement by Luis Miguel Merlano Hoyos, Ambassador of the Republic of Colombia to UAE, this accomplishment “marks a historic step for the country’s poultry sector. This achievement highlights the strong potential of Colombian products in the Emirati market and further strengthens the trade relationship between Colombia and the UAE.” The green light for Villa Gorgona not only benefits Pollos El Bucanero, but also sets a precedent and serves as a model for other Colombian agrifood exporters aspiring to reach international halal markets.
