The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply published on April 27 a ruling on the matter in the Federal Gazette. This was the only step pending in the process, as <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazil-about-to-greenlight-citrus-imports-from-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> by ANBA in early April. As a result, as of this Monday (4) authorization is in place for the shipping of citrus from Egypt to Brazil, in line with requirements agreed upon by Egyptian authorities and Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.in.gov.br\/en\/web\/dou\/-\/instrucao-normativa-n-20-de-24-de-abril-de-2020-254000645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>click here for the ruling in Brazilian Portuguese<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Requirements include a phytosanitary certificate of origin issued by Egypt\u2019s National Phytosanitary Protection Organization (ONPF) stating that the items are free from 11 types of pests, including Brevipalpus Lewisi, Eutetranychus Orientalis and Aonidiella Citrina. The product must also have undergone cold treatment at 1.7 degrees Celsius or colder for 18 days, for protection against Bactrocera Zonata. According to the ruling, shipments will be subject to inspection upon entry into Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Early last April, the agricultural attach\u00e9 at the Embassy of Brazil in Cairo, Cesar Simas Teles, told ANBA that Egyptians are planning to tap into Brazil\u2019s orange, tangerine and lime markets. Egypt has a free trade agreement in place with the Mercosur, under which a 2.5% tariff is levied on Egyptian citrus fruit entering Brazil. As per the agreement\u2019s tariff reduction schedule, the rate will be null as of next September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opening of Brazil\u2019s citrus market to Egypt is a very important step. It will validate the relevance of the Mercosur-Egypt agreement and help achieve more balance in Brazil-Egypt trade, which pends towards Brazil,\u201d Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce secretary-general Tamer Mansour told ANBA. The Chamber conducted a study on the Brazilian citrus fruit market and the potential of trade with Egypt. the study was made available to the Chamber\u2019s member companies in Arab countries as well as to Egypt\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mansour, the Arab Chamber is planning on having online B2B events to find and connect buyers and sellers and fast-track the entry of Egyptian citrus into Brazil. The goal here is to showcase Egypt\u2019s capacity and the quality of its fruit. \u201cLast month, Egypt overtook Spain to become the biggest orange exporter in the world,\u201d the secretary-general said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-272552\">Katsumi Tanaka\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arab country was awaiting publication of a ruling in Brazil\u2019s Official Gazette so it could begin to sell citrus to the Brazilian market.
