Opening of Ten New Markets for Brazilian Agribusiness Exports

The Brazilian government concluded ten agricultural trade negotiations this week with six international partners: the Bahamas, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Japan, South Korea, and Peru. The new market openings encompass a diverse range of products, including beef, pork, poultry and their derivatives, bovine and avian genetic material, fish oil, and corn ethanol by-products.

In the Bahamas, local authorities approved the sanitary certificate allowing Brazil to export beef, pork, poultry, and their products. This market opening reflects a high level of trust in Brazil’s sanitary control systems and may contribute to food security for the Bahamian population.

In Cameroon, local authorities approved the import of live cattle for breeding and bovine genetic material from Brazil. This move is expected to strengthen local livestock farming and offer Brazilian producers new business opportunities in Africa.

In South Korea, authorities authorized the import of avian genetic material (fertile eggs and day-old chicks), reinforcing Brazil’s leadership in this sector and confirming international recognition of the quality, health standards, and traceability of Brazilian poultry stock.

In Costa Rica, local authorities authorized the import of distillers’ dried grains (DDG and DDGS). These are by-products of corn ethanol production that serve as valuable sources of protein for animal feed and reflect Brazil’s sustainable bioenergy credentials.

In Japan, sanitary authorities approved the import of fish oil produced in Brazil, further confirming the high level of confidence the country places in Brazilian sanitary standards.

In Peru, sanitary authorities approved the import of refrigerated or frozen tilapia fillets from Brazil. This market opening could boost business opportunities for Brazil’s fish farming sector, as Peru is a major importer of seafood.

With these announcements, Brazilian agribusiness has secured access to 381 new markets since the beginning of 2023.

These results stem from the joint efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
