The Brazilian government has concluded sanitary and phytosanitary negotiations that will allow the export of new agricultural products to Argentina, Bolivia, El Salvador, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guyana, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and the Eurasian Economic Union. As a result, the following exports have been authorized: pacu-caranha (Piaractus mesopotamicus) semen to Argentina; salted bovine hides to Bolivia; bovine genetic material to El Salvador; popcorn to Ecuador and the Dominican Republic; coconut seeds to Guyana; bovine genetic material and sugarcane seedlings to Honduras; habanero pepper seeds to Nicaragua; castor bean seeds to Paraguay; passion fruit seeds to Venezuela; fishmeal and fats from fish, ruminants, and other animals, and blood products for animal feed to Ethiopia; and fertile eggs to Nigeria. Meanwhile, the Eurasian Economic Union, composed of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, approved the export of Brazilian cashew nuts. The bloc imported over US$1.4 billion in Brazilian agricultural products last year, among which soybeans, meat, and coffee stand out. With these announcements, Brazilian agribusiness has reached 639 market openings in 97 destinations since the beginning of 2023. These results are the fruit of the joint work of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
