Brazil has continued to expand its international market access for livestock and agricultural products through various sanitary agreements. In late October 2026, Sudan granted sanitary authorization for the importation of Brazilian poultry products, including meat and chicks. However, the practical implementation of these imports faces uncertainty due to the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has disrupted food supply chains. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) noted that high grain prices and limited logistical capacities may further hinder Sudan's ability to utilize these options. Simultaneously, Morocco authorized the importation of live buffalo from Brazil to bolster its red meat supply following a 30% decline in its domestic cattle ~~herds.~~ herd reported in 2025. By the end of October 2026, Brazil secured further agreements with Bangladesh for the import of bovine and bubaline genetic material, such as embryos and semen, as well as live animals intended for herd genetic improvement. Additionally, Colombia approved the purchase of Brazilian pet food, specifically dehydrated bovine and porcine products. In November 2026, Brazil concluded sanitary negotiations to open markets in five additional nations: Vietnam, Malaysia, Turkey, Barbados, and Bangladesh. Specific permissions include beef offal for Vietnam, pork and reproductive materials for Malaysia, live buffalo for Turkey, and beef and offal for Barbados. These developments are part of a broader strategy by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to diversify export destinations. Since early 2023, the Brazilian agribusiness sector has achieved a total of ~~721~~ 728 market openings.
