Official Mission of Mapa Negotiates Market Openings and Technical Cooperation with Caribbean and Central American Countries.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) began a mission to Central America and the Caribbean on August 8 to strengthen Brazilian agricultural trade through increased exports.

The agenda includes expanding technical cooperation and coordinating the participation of countries in the 23rd Inter-American Board of Agriculture, which will be held in Brasília in November.

In Panama, the delegation met with Vice Minister Carlos Hoyos and authorities from the Ministry of Agricultural Development Mida.

Progress was made in negotiations to increase exports of animal protein, fruits, pet food, and genetic material. Technical adjustments to expedite sanitary protocols under negotiation were also discussed.

Cooperation and Market Opening

The dialogue opened avenues for technical and scientific cooperation, regional integration, and new partnerships between Mapa, Embrapa, and Mida. The expectation is to open the Panamanian market to Brazilian products and sign a memorandum on animal and plant health. In 2024, agricultural trade with Panama totaled US$ 89.6 million, with a focus on cereals, flours, and preparations.

Stage in Barbados

On August 11, the mission was in Barbados. The discussions addressed opportunities to expand trade in meat, genetic material, fruits, and grains. Additionally, the delegations discussed technical cooperation and the drafting of a memorandum to open the local market to Brazilian products, such as beef and poultry and cattle genetic material. The goal is to sign the document and announce market openings in the short term.

Next Destinations

The mission will continue to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada. The conclusion will occur in Peru during the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), reinforcing Brazil’s presence in the regional agricultural agenda.
