Brazil has gained new agricultural market access in South Korea and Guatemala by securing approvals for sesame seeds and compliance for gelatin and collagen exports. This initiative marks an expansion of their global agricultural footprint and enhances export diversification efforts. The Brazilian agribusiness sector has unlocked 317 new market opportunities since 2023, reinforcing its leadership in the global agricultural supply chain.
The Brazilian government has announced that South Korea and Guatemala will now permit the importation of additional Brazilian agricultural products, enhancing trade relations. In South Korea, Brazilian sesame seeds have received import approval, which will increase Brazil’s agricultural market presence and diversify exports. Meanwhile, Guatemala’s sanitary authorities have verified that Brazilian gelatin and collagen exporters comply with local regulations, thus expanding opportunities for Brazil’s food and pharmaceutical sectors. Since 2023, Brazil has gained access to 317 new markets, reinforcing its global leadership in agriculture.
This announcement underscores Brazil’s growing role in global agricultural markets. South Korea is a vital importer of Brazilian agricultural goods, with significant trade in grains, meat, and oilseeds valued at over USD 2.85 billion in 2024. Guatemala, having imported USD 248.9 million in Brazilian agricultural products in the same year—predominantly forestry, grains, and oilseeds—further solidifies Brazil’s position as an essential trading partner while ensuring compliance with health regulations.
The recent approvals from South Korea and Guatemala highlight Brazil’s continued expansion into international markets for agricultural products. These moves not only enhance Brazil’s trade partnerships but also establish new avenues for growth in the food and pharmaceutical ingredient industries. The cooperative efforts from both the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have significantly contributed to this success.
