Official Mission Led by Geraldo Alckmin Seeks to Expand Brazilian Exports to Mexico, Focused on Meat, Coffee, Biofuels, and Many Other Commercial Opportunities.
The Vice President and Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce, and Services, Geraldo Alckmin, highlighted this Saturday (23) that his trip to Mexico will focus on strategic sectors such as biofuels, energy, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), agribusiness, health, and visa facilitation.
Growing Bilateral Trade
Mexico is the second largest economy in Latin America, behind only Brazil, and one of the region’s main trading partners.
In 2024, trade between the two countries reached US$ 13.6 billion. Brazilian exports totaled US$ 7.8 billion, while Mexican exports amounted to US$ 5.8 billion.

End of the 6×1 work schedule could expand women’s access to the labor market, says minister, linking a shorter workweek, two days of rest, and combating the overburdening of women to greater dignity and equal pay in the country.

Women experience a “7×0 schedule” in care work, dedicating almost 10 more hours per week to home and family, and sustaining an invisible routine that extends across holidays, weekends, and mental health.

Tolls on SP-310 and other highways in the interior of São Paulo become more expensive

Tech giants laid off 92,000 people in four months to invest in artificial intelligence, and now robots do the work that humans took years to learn.
According to Alckmin, the goal is to expand this trade flow. “We can grow this trade flow, which generates jobs and income,” he stated at a press conference during a visit to the concessionaire Brasilwagen in São Paulo.
Strategic Sectors on the Agenda
The mission will prioritize discussions on areas gaining international relevance. Among them are biofuels and SAF, considered essential for energy transition.
Agribusiness and the health sector are also on the agenda, reinforcing Brazilian interest in diversifying its presence in the Mexican market.
Furthermore, Alckmin announced that Brazil and Mexico are expected to adopt an electronic visa to facilitate the mobility of businessmen and tourists.
ApexBrasil Study Highlights Opportunities
In April, the Brazilian Agency for the Promotion of Exports and Investments (ApexBrasil) launched the Trade and Investment Profile: Mexico, a publication that identifies 434 opportunities for Brazilian products in the country. The survey shows that the sectors with the most potential include:
- Transportation Machines and Equipment, with a focus on road vehicles and power generation equipment.
- Chemical Products, especially pharmaceuticals, medicinal products, and plastics.
- Manufactured Articles, such as rubber products, paper, cellulose, and metal products.
Expansion in Food and Beverages
The study also emphasizes that measures adopted by the Mexican government to curb inflation — such as the temporary exemption of import taxes on basic basket items — may create opportunities for Brazilian products.
This includes food, beverages, animal feed, horticultural products, and personal care items.
A recent milestone demonstrates the strength of this exchange: the opening of the Mexican market to Brazilian beef in 2023.
In just one year, sales surged from US$ 23 million to US$ 214.3 million, an increase of over 800%. Unroasted coffee also stood out, with a rise of 323.5% following crop failures in Honduras and Guatemala.
