The Brazilian government concluded sanitary and phytosanitary negotiations with the Philippines, Guatemala and Nicaragua to increase exports of agricultural products to these countries.
In the Philippines, health authorities approved the export of beef fat, an input used in the food industry and in the production of low-carbon energy, especially green diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Between January and October 2025, the Southeast Asian country imported almost US$1.5 billion in agricultural products from Brazil.
In Nicaragua, phytosanitary authorities authorized Brazil to export millet, sunn hemp and turnip seeds, inputs for tropical agriculture, which contribute to increasing productivity and reducing dependence on mineral fertilizers. Between January and October 2025, Nicaragua imported around US$55 million in agricultural products from Brazil.
In Guatemala, the Brazilian government obtained phytosanitary authorization to export processed rice. In 2025, until October, the country imported more than US$ 192 million in agricultural products from Brazil.
“The results reinforce the strategy of diversifying destinations and products, including items with greater added value,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) in a statement.
