The Brazilian government has concluded sanitary and phytosanitary negotiations with the Philippines, Guatemala, and Nicaragua to expand agricultural exports 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).

From January to October 2025, the Southeast Asian country imported nearly USD 1.5 billion in agricultural products from Brazil.

In Nicaragua, phytosanitary authorities authorized Brazil to export millet, crotalaria, and turnip seeds - inputs for tropical agriculture that help increase productivity and reduce dependence on mineral fertilizers. From January to October 2025, Nicaragua imported approximately USD 55 million in agricultural products from Brazil.

In Guatemala, the Brazilian government obtained phytosanitary authorization to export processed rice. From January to October 2025, the country imported more than USD 192 million in agricultural products from Brazil.

“The results reinforce the strategy of diversifying destinations and products, including higher value-added items,” the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
