U.S. Greenlights Three New Brazilian Products for Export Without Phytosanitary Certification

The United States recently announced that three more Brazilian products—dried clove flowers, yerba mate, alfalfa hay, and timothy hay—can be exported without requiring phytosanitary certification, a feat the Brazilian government celebrates.

This decision underscores the high international credibility of Brazil’s sanitary and phytosanitary control systems, which are key to enhancing the competitiveness of Brazilian agricultural products in global markets.

Strengthening Trade Partnerships

In 2024, Brazil reaffirmed its position as a leading agricultural supplier to the U.S., with beef, coffee, and orange juice as prominent exports. The U.S. market opening for these new products is expected to further boost exports in the affected sectors.

With this latest development, Brazilian agribusiness has secured seven new market openings in 2025, totaling 307 new trade opportunities across 63 international destinations since early 2023.

A Joint Effort to Expand Trade

These achievements reflect the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), which have been working to diversify export markets and expand opportunities for Brazil’s agricultural sector.

The opening of the U.S. market to these Brazilian products marks another important step in strengthening bilateral trade relations and bolstering the international competitiveness of Brazil’s agribusiness sector.
