| 1131 | Brazil is opening up new market in Asia for its meat exports | The Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, Blairo Maggi, recently announced that Indonesia and South Korea are about to open their markets to Brazilian meat exports for the first time. Mr. Maggi also added that Brazil is looking to further expand its meat trade with China and is also in talks with authorities from Russia to launch its meat exports to this country. | <p>A team of experts from Indonesia are currently on a technical mission in Brazil and will visit several meat producers from within the country. The Brazilian minister said that in the meantime the authorities from both countries will discuss the details regarding the elaboration of the International Sanitary Certificate (ITC) that will enable the shipments of the Brazilian meat products to Indonesia.</p> <p>According to the minister, a Chinese mission will also be coming to Brazil to expand the number of meatpacking plants that are authorized to export all kinds of meat (bovine, swine, and poultry) to China.</p> <p>"In addition, the coming of China's long-awaited mission to expand the number of cold storage facilities authorized to ship all types of meat (bovine, porcine and poultry) to the country is due to take place in the first weeks of May," Mr. Maggi said.</p> <p>In the next few days, as said by Mr. Maggi, Brazil will conclude negotiations with South Korea regarding the export of pork from Santa Catarina, Brazil’s only state considered Free of Foot-and-Mouth Disease without Vaccination, the highest protection status.</p> <p>Furthermore, the Brazilian official said that Brazil is also in talks with Russian authorities about resuming the meat trade between the two countries, suspended since 2017. The minister said that a letter regarding the measures adopted by Brazil to resume shipments to Russia has already been sent to the local health authorities.</p> <p>Regarding the exports to India, the official announcement was also made that India will begin importing bovine and swine live embryos from Brazil, marking a new frontier into the Asian market. Brazil has been exporting bovine semen to Indian producers since 2016.</p> | 1 | Market | 2018-04-19 10:56:34 | 2025-08-16 03:32:48 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 8162 | Brazil is preparing to export beef in Japan | Brazilian beef is preparing to arrive in Japan in the coming months and, if Roberto Perosa, current president of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec) and former Secretary of Trade and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), is to decide, this will only be the beginning. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">"In February I will travel with some businessmen to Japan for an audience with the Japanese Minister of Agriculture. Japan still depends on specific acceptances and certificates related to Brazilian products", Perosa said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to the president of Abiec, with negotiations underway, the intention is to speed up contacts so that the Brazilian government has some favourable signals in March: Perosa leaves for the Asian country on February 8.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">However, Japan is not the only priority market for the sector. Three other strategic countries are in the spotlight: Turkey, Vietnam and South Korea. These countries, together with Japan, represent 30% of the world demand for beef.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Much of the work has already been done. Negotiations with Japan, Turkey and Vietnam are in the final stages, while the process with South Korea is a little further behind. Even so, progress in negotiations with the first three countries makes us confident that we can start exporting soon", says Perosa.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to projections, Brazil could export 4.032 million tons of carcass equivalent in 2025, a slight increase compared to 2024. However, this volume represents a new level for the sector. In 2024, Brazilian beef shipments reached an all-time high, with a growth of 26% compared to 2023.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-02-03 00:15:30 | 2025-08-16 18:31:02 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 2016 | Brazil is ready to launch pork exports to the Indian market | India has opened its market to Brazilian pork and pork by-products. | <p>"It is now up to the Brazilian private sector to work to make exports happen and the product to be well received by Indian consumers," said Blairo Maggi, Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply.</p> <p>The import duty rate for pork in India is 30%, with the exception of sausages which have an import duty rate of 100%, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAP).</p> <p>Furthermore, apart from the import tax, the importer also pays a GST (equivalent to the ICMS) of 12%. But the pork imported by India does not compete with the local pork, that has a different consumer niche. So far, the main pork supplier to India has been Belgium.</p> <p>Odilson Ribeiro e Silva, the secretary for International Relations of Map Agribusiness, highlighted the growth of Brazilian agribusiness exports to the country, which more than doubled (113.9%) between January and August of this year, compared to the same last year.</p> <p>The president of the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), Francisco Turra, welcomed the announcement made by MAP.</p> <p>Mr. Turra said that the negotiations between Brazilians and Indians for the viability of pork exports were on the agenda of the two countries' trade relations for at least four years, following a request made by ABPA to the Brazilian Government.</p> <p>India is one of the most ambitious markets for the world animal protein industry, explains Ricardo Santin, ABPA's executive director.</p> <p>"With a growing per capita income, the country undergoes an intense process of urbanization, which generates the need to offer products and a natural migration of consumption, with a greater presence of animal proteins in the composition of the food basket. In this context, the Brazilian sector will seek to fill gaps not occupied by local producers, such as food service for hotels and other emerging market niches," he pointed out.</p> | 1 | Market | 2018-10-08 10:48:49 | 2025-08-16 01:14:35 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 4155 | Brazil is set for record pork exports in 2020 | Over the first nine months of the year, the South American producer exceeded the volumes shipped abroad in 2019. | <p>Brazilian pork exports increased 33% in September compared to the same period last year, totalling 86,500 tonnes of fresh and processed products, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA). As a result, shipments for the first nine months of 2020 have already exceeded the total accumulated in 2019 - 764.9 thousand tonnes against 750 thousand tonnes last year.<br />“We have good expectations for maintaining this pace over the next few months. The indications strengthen ABPA's forecasts of reaching a number close to 1 million tonnes exported in 2020," declared Ricardo Santin, President of ABPA. In revenue, exports generated $ 188.5 million in September, a figure 34% higher than the same month last year. In the accumulated result for the year, the partial results of 2020 also surpass those of the entire 2019 - $ 1.677 billion this year, against $ 1.577 billion in the previous year, according to Reuters.<br />Mainland China remains the main market for Brazilian pork, with 376,700 tonnes imported this year (+133%). Also, Hong Kong accounted for 131,600 tonnes of pork imported from Brazil.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-10-13 08:01:11 | 2025-08-16 18:30:12 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 1506 | Brazil is taking a step back on poultry exports | The Brazilian industry is losing 10% of its global market share, according to a Rabobank analysis. | <p>Global poultry trade is becoming highly volatile and Brazil is at the centre of this turmoil, considers Nan-Dirk Mulder, Senior Analyst – Animal Protein at RaboResearch.<br />"Global trade has recently become highly volatile, and we have seen some major movements in trade streams and prices due to several important factors", he explained.<br />Brazil is one the biggest player affected by a series of events that threatens the evolution of its poultry industry. According to the analysis, Brazil’s poultry exports and production are set to decline this year by 10% and 3%, respectively.<br />Three events on the global market are behind this setback forecast by the analysts:<br />1. In April, the EU removed 20 Brazilian plants from the export allowance list due to the violation of EU import requirements regarding salmonella control. This is affecting the global breast-meat market heavily, as the EU is the world’s key importer of these products, and other potential buyers like the US are not open to Brazilian poultry imports. Although the EU reduced imports over January-April by only 9%, Brazil’s imports were down 45%.</p> <p>2. Saudi Arabia is in the process of implementing its new halal allowance standards, which have already led to a drop of 30% in imports in Q1 2018. Saudi Arabia is Brazil’s number-one export market and a key buyer for the whole chicken.</p> <p>3. China has now issued a special safeguard on imports of Brazilian poultry. This will lead to the implementation of company-specific import levies and will certainly impact import volumes of Brazilian poultry in China.</p> <p>Nevertheless, this clears the path for other players that can promote their products in these markets. The report noted that Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Thailand and Argentina are already increasing their exports, and this is set to continue in the second half of 2018. The impact will be also reflected by the prices in some markets. "The EU and Mexico are further set to benefit from the recent tensions in trade, with rising local prices", noted the report.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-06-29 07:00:57 | 2025-08-16 08:35:16 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 1002 | Brazil is working hard to keep access to meat products on Saudi Arabia's market | More strictly halal requirement from the Middle East kingdom is threatening Brazil's position as a food exporter in the area. | <p>Halal slaughter has become a sensitive issue between Saudi Arabia and Brazil threatening the access for the Brazilian meat producers on their main market in the Middle East. An official delegation of Brazil, headed by Eumar Novacki, Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), was received last week, in Riyadh, by Deputy Minister Ahmed bin Saleh Al Ayadah of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment Environment and Waters of the Government of Saudi Arabia to discuss the subject.</p> <p>One of the issues addressed at the meeting was the Halal slaughter in Brazil, a religious requirement to access the market in several Arab countries. Saudi Arabia is increasingly restricting access, but the Brazilian Government has submitted a technical-scientific work carried out by Embrapa, in partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), explaining that the procedure used in Brazil strictly follows the precepts established at slaughter Halal. The Brazilian part has requested to postpone for 60 more days in order to take into account the more stringent criteria demanded by the Saudi government and invited a delegation to know how halal slaughter is carried out in Brazil, informs <a href="https://www.agricultura.gov.br/noticias/novacki-acerta-vinda-ao-brasil-de-missao-tecnica-da-arabia-saudita">agricultura.gov.br</a>.</p> <p>At the beginning of this year, the International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF) held a meeting in Brazil to discuss the opportunity for a unified halal certification system for the South American country. The secretary-general of IHAF, Mohamed Saleh Badri, thinks that the current system it is too expensive as every country is taking a different approach to halal certification. From his point of view, the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) could play the role of a regulatory body to unify the processes of halal certification.</p> <p>Saudi Arabia is the main destination of Brazil's agricultural exports in the Middle East. In 2017, Brazilian exports totalled more than $ 2.6 billion. Chicken is the main product, with 591 thousand tons exported, which have yielded more than $ 1 billion.</p> <p>On the other hand, the export of live cattle could be solved in the next few months, as the Riyadh officials are ready to send a technical team in Brazil, in the first week of May, to discuss this issue.</p> | 1 | Market | 2018-03-27 07:00:25 | 2025-08-16 13:46:23 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 1673 | Brazil looks for new markets for its pork products | Production is on the rise but exports have fallen in the first six months of the year. | <p>Figures reported by Brazilian pork industry in the first half of 2018 show a desperate need to open new markets as the effective closure of the Russian market (40% of total pork exports in 2017; 250,000 tonnes of pork) is threatening the performance of the sector.<br />Until now, Brazilian pork exporters have managed to increase the exports in the Chinese market from 9% in 2017 to 30% this year and also to neighbouring countries: Argentina, Chile, Uruguay. <br />Pig meat production in Brazil in the first quarter of the year was 958,000 tonnes, 6% (+58,000 tonnes) higher than in the first quarter of 2017. Production is expected to have continued the upward trends observed in recent years in Q2, considering the fact that Brazil’s cost of production is typically the lowest among the major pig meat-producing nations, except the US.<br />"However, this competitive position will not necessarily translate into higher exports in the future, although it may impact the global price. The global market is well-supplied at the moment, and Brazilian exporters have so far struggled to diversify the number of international markets to which they have access. On the other hand, access has been granted to South Korea, which should help the situation if exports begin later in the year, and rising trade tensions elsewhere should also offer opportunities.</p> <p>While the outlook may look more positive, Brazil may have to continue to look to its domestic market to support production levels for the time being", considers Duncan Wyatt, Lead Analyst for Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).</p> | 1 | Market | 2018-07-28 07:42:37 | 2025-08-16 03:32:54 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 4782 | Brazil looks to fill 30,000 tonnes poultry quota offered by Mexico | Last week, the Mexican government opened a new quota of 30,000 tonnes to import chicken meat from countries outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). | <p>Brazilian poultry producers are ready to fill most of the 30,000 tonnes chicken meat quota opened last week by the Mexican government. Poultry imports included in this quota are for countries outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). According to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA), Brazilian exporters of the product should benefit from the measure. The quota allows for import without customs duties and is valid for bone-in and boneless cuts, such as breast, thigh, drumstick and chicken wings. For ABPA, the rise in domestic prices for the product may have led Mexico to facilitate foreign purchases.</p> <p>"For almost a decade, we have been building a strong partnership with Mexico, supporting especially in times when the local supply is facing internal supply problems. This is a partnership that has worked, and now it should gain new momentum, influencing the balance positive of Brazilian exports”, said the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin, in the statement. Even though import tariffs add up to 75%, from January to May this year, Mexico imported 38,300 tonnes of Brazilian chicken meat. In the same period last year, this volume was 2,300 tonnes, according to the ABPA.</p> | 1 | Market | 2021-07-01 04:47:09 | 2025-08-16 13:46:25 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 7215 | Brazil negotiates greater acces in the United States | A mission attempts to open that country's borders for new agricultural products as well as expand quotas for products such as beef. | <p>This week, a delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA), led by its Secretary of Commerce and International Relations, was negotiating in Washington for greater access to the North American market for beef and sugar as well as enabling chicken and Tahitian lemon (lime).</p> <p>The official assured the press that they intend, at least, to double their access to meat, which today is through a quota of 65 thousand tons per year, and to increase that of sugar.</p> <p>In reality, Brazil does not have its own meat quota, as Argentina and Uruguay have, although much smaller, but rather accesses it through a quota for third countries that they previously enjoyed, especially Central American countries, and, recently, it has to also share with Paraguay.</p> <p>The US is interested in reducing the 18% tariff that Brazil applies to ethanol of that origin.</p> <p>Brazil also has a package of investment projects to transform degraded lands into arable areas, within environmental initiatives, for US investment funds.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-03-15 00:05:06 | 2025-08-16 03:32:56 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8101 | Brazil negotiates quota in Türkiye with 0 percent tariff | Brazil is in final negotiations with Turkish authorities to open that market to Brazilian meat. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">Initially, Brazil will have to agree to the establishment of a reduced quota of between 4,000 and 5,000 tons with zero tariffs and the requirement to present sanitary tests for the cargo.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The strategy is to open the doors and then expand its presence in Turkey, where meat prices have skyrocketed. The price of beef in Turkey has increased by 200% and led local consumers to reduce their purchase of the product by 30%, prioritizing the demand for chicken.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the most recent negotiations, technical and sanitary terms were agreed upon to make exports viable. The requirement is that chilled or frozen meat must be tested for BSE, the "mad cow disease," even though the World Organization for Animal Health (WHO) considers Brazil to be a country with "negligible risk" of contracting the disease.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Brazilian authorities decided to accept the request as a strategy to open the market and then seek expansion. The first request had been for a quota of 10,000 tons, which ended up being reduced by half.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Brazilian private sector estimates the potential for shipments of up to 300 thousand tons per year to Turkey in a consolidated market. The Turkish tariff rate for beef is 225%.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sources in the export sector say that a tariff of up to 20% would be acceptable for negotiations. The analysis is that, with the current price of meat in the Turkish market, this rate would still make the Brazilian product competitive in the country. There are negotiations to bring the rate to around 12%.</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-01-17 00:10:56 | 2025-08-16 06:58:58 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 496 | Brazil obtains approval to export eggs to South Africa | Brazil will be able to export fresh and processed eggs to South Africa, after successful negotiations between the two countries. | <p> </p> <p>The conclusion of the negotiations depended only on the International Sanitary Certificate (ITC) to support Brazilian shipments.</p> <p>With this resolved, the South African sanitary authority can already issue the Import Permits, which allows the immediate start of the business, Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture statement read.</p> <p>Brazil already exports eggs to more than 50 countries, with remittances equivalent to US $ 110 million in 2016.</p> <p>According to the Secretary of International Relations, Odilson Luiz Ribeiro e Silva, "the beginning of Brazilian exports of fresh eggs and processed eggs to Africa of the South reiterates the quality and sanity of the Brazilian product and will contribute to the strengthening of the agricultural sector, expanding and diversifying exports ".</p> <p>The Brazilian products will arrive in South Africa within 19 days, which represents an advantage over suppliers in the United States, since their delivery time is 31 days.</p> | 1 | Market | 2017-12-12 07:14:24 | 2025-08-16 03:32:58 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 3197 | Brazil opens the Indonesian beef market | <p>Brazilian beef gets clearance to enter the Indonesian market with a volume of 50,000 tonnes swt of frozen beef for the next twelve months. Imports will be managed through state-owned enterprises due to foot and mouth disease (FMD) status of the South American country. The main suppliers of beef for Indonesia are Australia and India. "Brazilian beef enters the market, in terms of quality and price, between Indian buffalo and Australian beef and poses a greater competitive threat", observes Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA).<br />Nevertheless, the entry of Brazilian beef would have a modest impact upon Australian cattle and beef shipments as the increase in beef demand in Indonesia over the coming decade is expected to more than offset greater competitive pressure from Brazil. Exports will continue to grow in the long term, as Indonesia increasingly requires imports to feed growing consumption needs.</p> <p>"Even with the entry of Brazil, compared to a 2018 baseline, Australian cattle and beef exports are forecast to increase 30% and 87%, respectively, over the coming decade, just 1% and 9% less than they would have been without added competition," forecast MLA. <br />Australia shipped a broad array of products to Indonesia in the 2018-19 financial year, including A$689.8 million (US$465.8 million) of live cattle, A$274.4 million (US$ 185.3 million) of frozen beef, A$48.4 million (US$32.6 million) of chilled beef and A$105.9 million (US$71.5 million) of beef offal, making it worth a record A$1.12 billion (US$756 million) and the fifth most valuable market for the Australian cattle industry.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-08-23 06:58:03 | 2025-08-16 15:43:06 | Details Edit Delete | |||
| 4610 | Brazil opens two new markets for egg exports | Egg exports are now allowed to Argentina and Chile, increasing the performance already seen in this segment. | <p><br />Brazilian egg producers can now export eggs to two South American markets: Argentina and Chile, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA). Both International Health Certificates (CSI’s) were issued last week allowing Brazil to ship fresh eggs to these markets.<br />The CSI’s were published by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, and are valid for all states, in the case of Argentina; and for all establishments located in Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo, in the case of Chile.</p> <p>Brazilian egg exports from Brazil have obtained good results in 2021. In the first two months, the sector accumulated an increase of more than 150%, an index that should be maintained with the results of March, according to preliminary data calculated by ABPA. With the opening of Argentina and Chile - markets that are geographically closer than the current main destination in the sector, the United Arab Emirates - there are good expectations for an even greater increase in sales in the sector.</p> <p>“The proximity of the markets are facilitators for the sector's sales. Brazil has consolidated itself as a major producer and now seeks new frontiers for sales of eggs produced in the country. With these two markets made possible yesterday, there are good expectations for business expansion ”, says Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA. </p> | 1 | Market | 2021-04-14 10:51:50 | 2025-08-16 17:35:18 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 245 | Brazil regains market share in global poultry trade | Brazilian poultry exports reported a 9% drop in the second quarter of 2017 because of the meat scandal that broke in March. Still, the latest monthly export figures are matching last year's record levels, which indicates that the poultry industry has started to recover, Brazil regaining market share in global trade, according to Rabobank's latest Poultry Quarterly report. | <p> </p> <p>The Brazilian meat scandal 'carne fraca' has had a major impact on the poultry exports in the first half of 2017. However, after the wave of temporary import bans, the investigation showed that just 0.5% of Brazil's total processing capacity had been involved in the fraud. Negative impacts on the poultry exports began to fade at the start of the second half of this year, thanks to the considerable effort invested by the Brazilian authorities in providing transparent information to importers.</p> <p>Brazilian poultry exports in July were around 5% above July 2016, by volume. But during the first seven months of 2017, exports declined by 5% year-over-year.</p> <p>Analysts at Rabobank expect that the poultry exports will recover during the second half of this year, finishing 2017 slightly above the levels from the previous year. Moreover, "preliminary numbers for the first three weeks of August already indicate a small increase, compared to last year."</p> <p>But Brazil is not out of the woods yet. According to Rabobank, China announced an anti-dumping investigation into imports of poultry from Brazil. And although the full investigation is expected to take as long as a year, the Chinese authorities could apply a provisional anti-dumping tax after the preliminary analysis in the next two to four months.</p> <p>Overall, the Rabobank analysts expect the poultry production from Brazil to report a slight increase this year, taking into account that currently there are ongoing low corn and soybean prices which will continue to provide low feed costs and this aspect will support the industry in sustaining positive margins.</p> | 1 | Market | 2017-09-27 10:36:13 | 2025-08-16 03:33:05 | Details Edit Delete |
