Brazilian agribusiness begins 2024 with the opening of four more new markets for the export of its products. The government recently received authorization to export live cattle, bovine embryos (in vivo and in vitro) and bovine semen to Pakistan, in addition to tilapia fingerlings to the Philippines.
In 2023, Pakistan imported US$298,097,917 from Brazil. Among the main products, fibers and textiles, the soybean complex and forestry products stand out, which corresponded to 83% of Brazilian exports to the Asian country.
The Republic of the Philippines continues to be one of the important markets for Brazilian meat. With exports equivalent to US$918,262,941 in the previous year, proteins represented 76% of what was consumed by Filipinos in Brazil.
The live cattle market, opened this month for Pakistan, generated a turnover of US$488,580,177 for the country on the world market in 2023, reflecting an increase of 154% compared to 2022.
“With the resumption of diplomatic relations, 2023 was a year marked by records in the opening of markets around the world. This year, with the support of Minister Carlos Fávaro, we will seek even more new opportunities for national agricultural producers to export dozens of products and access hitherto unheard of destinations, generating income and employment throughout the country”, highlighted Roberto Perosa, Secretary of Commerce and International Relations.
