Brazil establishes 37 new markets for agribusiness goods under current administration

During the first eight months of Lula’s administration, Brazil has successfully established 37 new markets for the export of agribusiness products. Carlos Fávaro, the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, is celebrating this achievement, which stems from bilateral negotiations resulting in agreements on health parameters, as well as corresponding sanitary, phytosanitary, or veterinary certificates. These certificates are recognized by the importing countries at their points of entry for goods.

Roberto Perosa, the Secretary of Commerce and International Relations at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, highlighted that the record number of market openings for agricultural products from January to August underscores the international community’s recognition of the high quality and rigorous sanitary and phytosanitary controls maintained by Brazilian exporters.

Diverse national products have made their way to various destinations, including bovine products, seeds, genetic material for cattle and poultry, live animals, animal feed, fibers, fish, and dairy items.

Among the most recent achievements are market openings in Vanuatu (sterilized meat products and poultry offal), Indonesia (cattle for fattening, poultry and feather by-product meals, poultry oil, and meat meals), the Dominican Republic (meat, meat products, and offal from cattle and pigs), Mexico (pork fat for animal feed), and Saudi Arabia (goat meat and meat products). The opening of the Saudi Arabian market was a direct result of a visit by Minister Fávaro’s official mission at the end of July.

Throughout the year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has facilitated the establishment of new markets across the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania for a wide range of agricultural products.

This endeavor extends beyond traditional exports like meat, corn, and soybeans, encompassing numerous products throughout the agricultural supply chain, aligned with the ministry’s goal of diversifying Brazil’s export basket.

However, the process of market opening doesn’t solely entail trade and immediate shipments of agricultural products. It also requires preparing producers and exporters to meet the demands of each new customer, along with developing commercial promotion and advertising efforts.
