Sao Paulo (Reuters) -Bin delegation is expected to visit Rio Grande Do Sul, the Southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande Do Sul, who was shot by a bird flu outbreak in May, and that Brazil will soon continue to sell poultry products to the best buyer.

Gilberto Tomazoni, the world’s largest meat company JBS CEO, said that the visit will confirm the health conditions of the state after triggering the trading bans of bird flu reported by the authorities at an industry event on Wednesday.

Tomazoni added that China may continue to buy Brazilian poultry products, but that the negotiations are still waiting after the outbreak controlled in June.

“I understand that a Chinese mission came to Rio Grande Do Sul this month.” He said. “I believe that China will be opened.”

When he was asked if China believes that he would continue to buy chicken products from Brazil this month, he said yes, but “this is something we can’t control”.
