The Brazilian government has concluded sanitary and phytosanitary negotiations with the governments of the Philippines, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, which will allow Brazil to export various agricultural products to these countries.
In the Philippines, health authorities have approved the export of beef fat from Brazil. This is an input used in the food industry and in the production of biofuels, contributing in the latter case to the generation of low-carbon energy, particularly green diesel and "Sustainable Aviation Fuel". With approximately 115 million inhabitants, the Philippines is one of the largest consumer markets in Southeast Asia. Between January and October 2025, the country imported almost US$1.5 billion in agricultural products from Brazil.
In Guatemala, Brazil obtained phytosanitary authorization to export processed (husked) rice. With a population of approximately 18 million, Guatemala imported over USD 192 million in Brazilian agricultural products between January and October 2025. Cereals were the main product exported by Brazil that year.
In Nicaragua, phytosanitary authorities have authorized Brazil to export millet, crotalaria, and turnip seeds, strategic inputs for tropical agriculture that contribute to increased productivity and reduced dependence on mineral fertilizers. Between January and October 2025, Nicaragua imported approximately USD 55 million in agricultural products from Brazil.
With these announcements, Brazilian agribusiness has reached 496 market openings since the beginning of 2023.
The results reinforce the strategy of diversifying destinations and products, including higher value-added items, and are the result of joint work between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
