China Buying Brazil? China and Brazil’s Trade Agreement Promises to Boost Family Agriculture with Machinery, Technology, and Much More, check out the details of the Chinese dominance project!
In June 2024, the Minister of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Combatting Hunger, Wellington Dias, was in Beijing for an important agenda with Chinese authorities and businessmen. The goal was to discuss new partnerships between Brazil and China, focusing on modernizing the agricultural sector. One of the main points discussed was the strengthening of mechanization in Family Agriculture, through a trade agreement between the two countries. This technological partnership promises to boost rural production in Brazil, making it more efficient and competitive in the global market. Check out the details of this strategic alliance and how it may impact the future of Brazilian agriculture.
China Buying Brazil with Machines for Family Agriculture?
According to Dias, this is a fertile territory where a trade agreement between China and Brazil makes a lot of sense in light of the need for modernization and mechanization of Brazilian family agriculture production to increase productivity.
There are 4 million small properties in Brazil that need small machines for land preparation and for harvesting and processing products.

China has vast successful experience, and Brazil wants to increase the productivity of family agriculture and boost the income of these workers.
The agreement, where China would be buying Brazil, was signed in September 2022 to strengthen the food production chain that includes machinery with direct benefits for what we mentioned above concerning Brazilian Family Agriculture.
The partnership includes research and development, manufacturing and trade of agricultural machinery, technology and processing equipment for products, education and training in mechanization, among other projects in the same direction. The unprecedented exchange , where China would be buying Brazil, was consolidated in 2023, with the visit of a Chinese delegation here in Brazil.
What is the Objective of the Trade Agreement between China and Brazil?
The objective is to strengthen mechanization in family agriculture and agrarian reform areas, increasing food production that does not require the use of pesticides within the national territory, also marking an unprecedented initiative for cooperation between the two countries in the experimental field of technological development in the Northeast.
On February 2, 2024, in the municipality of Apodi, the testing center for agricultural machinery was inaugurated with the arrival of 31 machines from China to be delivered to families of farmers in Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Maranhão, and Ceará, under an international cooperation agreement.
Participating are the Northeast Consortium, the Agricultural University of China, the International Association for Popular Cooperation, the Landless Workers Movement (MST), the Association of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers, and the federal government, through the Mais Alimentos Program.
Understand the Importance of This Agreement for Brazilian Family Agriculture
Currently, in China, about 87% of rural agriculture is already mechanized. In Brazil, this number does not reach 13%. In the Northeast, the region with the highest number of peasant families, access to machinery is even lower and does not reach 3%.
For the Minister of Agrarian Development and Family Agriculture, Paulo Teixeira, the machines from the China and Brazil trade agreement come to industrialize the Northeast, increase the income of family farmers, to modernize the primary sector, and thus further develop this region that faces many difficulties.
A partnership was also established with the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte for this mechanization and training program for farmers. According to the agreement where China would be buying Brazil, the machines will be tested for a period regarding their adaptation to the needs of production in the national territory and that in the future they may be manufactured in Brazil.
