São Paulo – Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday afternoon (21) the opening of the Egyptian market to duck meat, other poultry, and rabbit meat produced in Brazil. The announcement came alongside news of other market openings for Brazilian products in India, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
In the joint statement, the ministries described Egypt as a “relevant partner of Brazil in meat products,” noting that the Arab country has increased its purchases of Brazilian poultry “due to its recognition of halal certification and the reliability of supply.”
According to data from Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services compiled by the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), Brazil exported USD 3.9 billion to Egypt last year, up 71.9% from 2023.
