Mapa reaches 100 new market openings in 49 countries since last year.




Brazilian agriculture has reached a new historic milestone by opening 100 new markets for national agricultural products since January 2023, the beginning of President Lula's third term. In total, there are 49 countries to which Brazil can export agricultural and livestock products.


Egypt - The two new markets that allowed the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) to reach this mark were opened this Tuesday (19/03) in Egypt for the export of meat, meat products and goat and sheep offal.


Recognition - For the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, the openings, as a result of Brazil's relevance and recovery worldwide, reinforce the recognition of international players in the country's health control system and reflect positively on the Brazilian economy. "We have resumed commercial partnerships abroad and increased prospects for Brazilian agriculture. It is the producer's chance to access previously unheard of opportunities. This generates demand, the producer needs to increase his business and the result is more jobs and income throughout the country" , he explained. "The scenario is one of new opportunities and we will work to grow even more", added Fávaro.


Double - In 15 months, the number achieved is double that recorded in the same period of the previous administration, when 50 markets were opened in 24 countries.


By continent - Of the 100 new markets, 36 are in Asia (Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Bhutan, China, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam); 35 in the Americas (Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador, United States, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic and Uruguay); 17 in Africa (South Africa, Angola, Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya and Zambia); 7 in Oceania (Australia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Vanuatu) and 5 in Europe (Belarus, United Kingdom, Russia and Turkey).


Diversified agenda - With a diversified export agenda, Brazilian cotton trade with Egypt stands out; beef and pork with Mexico and Singapore; açaí juice with India; chicken with Israel and Algeria; papaya with Chile; rice with Kenya; fished with Australia, Egypt and South Africa; eggs with Russia; and green coffee with Zambia.


Impacts - “This expansion not only strengthens the presence of Brazilian agriculture on the world stage, but also promotes sustainable development, income generation and employment, directly benefiting farmers by offering new market opportunities for their products”, highlighted the Secretary of Commerce and International Relations, Roberto Perosa.


Joint efforts - The positive result is the result of joint efforts between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE). (Map)
