A family from Martins, in the interior of RN, planted seeds in their backyard that no one remembered where they came from and harvested a green and yellow fruit with the face of the Brazilian flag; the nickname “jerimum da Copa” caught on before they discovered what had actually grown there.

Presidential mission reinforced sanitary dialogue
During the presidential mission to the Republic of Korea in February 2026, Brazil and South Korea signed memorandums of understanding aimed at cooperation in agriculture. The documents also addressed sanitary and phytosanitary measures, bio-inputs, innovation, and rural development.
The agenda contributed to strengthening the sanitary dialogue between the two countries. This progress aided in negotiations of interest to the Brazilian agricultural sector, including the release for exporting eggs and derived products.
Agribusiness totals 602 market openings
With this announcement, Brazilian agribusiness reaches 602 market openings since the beginning of 2023. The result involves different negotiation fronts conducted by the Brazilian government with international partners.
The conclusion of negotiations for eggs and derivatives is the result of joint work by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The new authorization expands the presence of the Brazilian agricultural sector in South Korea and adds eggs and derivatives to the national export agenda destined for the South Korean market, within the commercial relationship between the countries.
