China opens market to Brazilian frozen fruit and pulp exports

China has completed the procedures required to begin importing frozen fruit and fruit pulp from Brazil, creating a new opportunity for Brazilian producers and processors to expand sales in one of the world’s largest consumer markets.

Eligible products include frozen fruit and pulp made from açaí, mango, guava, pineapple, passion fruit and other species already recognized by Chinese authorities as fit for human consumption.

According to foreign trade data obtained by Datamar, Brazil exported 408 TEUs of frozen fruit or nuts in the January-May period. The volume represents an 11.8% increase. The chart below shows the top 10 destinations for these exports by market share:

Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock said China’s General Administration of Customs (GACC) has added the agreed sanitary certificate template for Brazilian shipments to its system.

Brazilian facilities interested in exporting may now begin the approval process through the China Import Food Enterprise Registration system, known as CIFER. Registration is mandatory for companies seeking access to the Chinese food market.

Exporters must submit the required documentation directly through the system. Once the application has been reviewed and approved by Chinese authorities, the facility will receive a registration number that must be obtained before shipments can begin.

The ministry stressed that every consignment must be accompanied by the official sanitary certificate agreed upon by Brazil and China. It also advised exporters to review all Chinese sanitary and customs requirements before beginning the registration process.

The market opening could create significant opportunities for Brazil’s fruit industry, particularly for producers and processors of tropical products, as Chinese demand for imported food and higher-value fruit products continues to grow.
