São Paulo – The Brazilian government announced on Friday (31) the opening of Saudi Arabia’s ornamental fish market to Brazil. According to a statement from Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Saudi health authorities have approved the International Veterinary Certificate (IVC) for fish exports from Brazil.
Saudi Arabia is one of Brazil’s largest trading partners in the Arab world. Last year alone, the Brazilian agricultural sector exported USD 2.7 billion worth of products to the country, with highlights including meat, the sugar-alcohol complex, cereals, flours and preparations, and the soy complex.
