O Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock should reach this week the opening of 400 International Markets for agribusiness products. The release for Brazil to export “in vitro” seedlings from sugarcane to Guatemala, made official last Friday (11), was the 399th access.
The opening of markets for Brazilian products has gained more relevance amid the tariff of US President Donald Trump. At the rate of 50% It makes export to the country unfeasible to a series of sectors, which run to drain goods to other destinations.
The folder treats the diversification of destinations as one of their priorities since the beginning of the term and accelerated efforts after Trump’s threats.
Among other fronts, this week a government entourage visits Japan and, pork, fruits, among other items.
Access to beef to Japan is an old goal of agribusiness – the business should not be closed this week, but it advances and brings optimism to government technicians. In June, Brazil received a mission of Japanese auditors, representing an important stage in the country’s health system evaluation process.
Agro has been less benefited from the list of exceptions to Trump’s tariff: experts indicate that about 80% of industry exports are reached by the rate. Among the products not spared and more affected by the rate are coffee, beef, fish and fruits.
Almost 100 markets were opened by 2025, including access to the products most affected by the tariff. Only for beef were exports of beef, for example, Vietnam, Morocco, Malaysia, Bahamas, El Salvador, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
