The Brazilian government has concluded phytosanitary negotiations with authorities in India and Russia, opening opportunities for exports of macadamia nuts, common beans, and cowpeas. In India, phytosanitary authorities authorized Brazil to export macadamia nuts. With over 1.4 billion inhabitants, the country is today one of the largest and most dynamic food consumer markets in the world. In 2024, it imported more than US$3 billion in Brazilian agricultural products, notably products from the sugar-alcohol complex and the soybean complex, as well as fibers and textiles. In Russia, Brazil received authorization to export common beans and cowpeas. With approximately 144 million inhabitants, the country is a traditional importer of legumes to meet its domestic demand, especially during the winter and periods of lower domestic supply. Last year, it imported more than US$1 billion in Brazilian agricultural goods, notably products from the soybean complex, meat, and coffee. These market openings will allow Brazil, currently the world's third-largest bean producer, to increase its share of the international market, diversify its export markets, and expand business opportunities for bean-producing states. With these announcements, Brazilian agribusiness has achieved 499 market openings since the beginning of 2023. These results are the fruit of joint work between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
