Brazil continues to strengthen its international trade relations, reaching a significant milestone with the recent opening of the Russian market for Brazilian eggs and egg products. This advance, announced by the Russian government after health approval, not only represents a new opportunity for Brazilian producers, but also consolidates international confidence in the country’s rigorous health control system.

Expansion of Brazil-Russia Trade

Brazilian agricultural exports to Russia reached more than US$1.25 billion in 2023, demonstrating a robust trade link between the two countries. Last year, Brazil supplied approximately 50 thousand tons of eggs to the international market, totaling exports worth US$186 million. With the inclusion of eggs and their derivatives in the list of products exportable to Russia, a significant increase in this trade flow is expected.

Multiple Achievements in 2024

The Brazilian agricultural sector celebrates its 20th market opening in 15 different countries throughout 2024, marking a period of unprecedented global expansion. These achievements are not limited to a specific region, covering all continents in the world. Since the beginning of the year, new markets have opened for a variety of Brazilian products, including bovine embryos and semen for Botswana, gelatin and collagen for the United States and El Salvador, and many others.

Contribution of Brazilian Agribusiness to Sustainable Development

The Secretary of Commerce and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), Roberto Perosa, highlights the significant increase in the presence of Brazilian agricultural products on the global market. He highlights that these new opportunities not only promote sustainable development, but also boost the generation of income and wealth for both Brazil and the agricultural sector as a whole.

Interministerial Cooperation: Key to Success

The positive result of these initiatives is the result of joint efforts between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE). This strategic collaboration has been fundamental in opening new paths and strengthening Brazil’s commercial relations on a global scale.

Future perspectives

As Brazil continues to diversify and expand its export markets, new opportunities are emerging for domestic producers. Furthermore, the opening of strategic markets strengthens the country’s position as an important player in international trade, creating a virtuous cycle of economic and social development.

In short, recent achievements in the field of foreign trade reflect not only the competitiveness of the Brazilian agricultural sector, but also the country’s commitment to establishing solid and sustainable partnerships around the world. This successful trajectory only tends to expand, bringing tangible benefits to the Brazilian economy and society as a whole.
