Opening allows Brazilian eggs and derivatives to reach South Korea for direct consumption and use in the food industry, expanding opportunities for national poultry farming in a market that bought US$2.4 billion from Brazilian agribusiness in 2025.

Brazil opens South Korean market for eggs and derivatives after concluding negotiations authorizing poultry sector exports to the Asian country. The measure allows Brazilian products to be destined for both direct consumption and the food industry.

Brazilian eggs reach new Asian market

The opening expands opportunities for Brazilian poultry farming in a market already relevant to national agribusiness. In 2025, Brazil’s agricultural exports to South Korea totaled US$2.4 billion.

Among the main products sent to the country that year were soybean meal, poultry meat, coffee, soybeans, corn, tobacco, cotton, and leather. The entry of eggs and derivatives now forms part of this set of items negotiated with the South Koreans.

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.
