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.
This performance was celebrated by Brazilian authorities, who took advantage of the date to reinforce support for fruit production. During the launch of the 2025/2026 Crop Plan, Minister Carlos Fávaro emphasized the government’s effort to increase financing and technical support for fruit producers.
Northeast Leads Exports and Expands International Presence
The Northeast region continues to be the main producer and exporter of fruits in Brazil. States like Pernambuco and Bahia concentrate a large part of the mango production destined for export, thanks to the favorable climate and infrastructure geared toward exports.
In addition to mango, the country also exports grapes, lemons, limes, and canned fruit preparations. However, mango’s prominence is driven both by its quality and the growing demand in international markets for tropical fruits.
The trend is one of growth, with the government and sector entities projecting an increase in Brazilian competitiveness in the global market. The investment in technology, logistics, and international certifications is one of the pillars to expand participation in exports.
Climate Favors the Expansion of Fruit Production in Brazil
Although it also imports fruits such as apples, pears, and kiwis, Brazil has increased domestic production of these varieties, especially in the Southeast and South regions. The temperate climate in these areas has favored the diversification of national fruit production.
According to the Brazilian Association of Exporters of Fruits and Derivatives (Abrafrutas), crops such as apples, pears, blueberries, and peaches have shown significant growth in recent years. This advancement may help reduce dependence on imports and expand the export portfolio in the future.
The information was disclosed by the portal Compre Rural, with official data from Mapa and Abrafrutas, in the context of World Fruit Day and the launch of the Crop Plan 25/26. The highlight of mango reaffirms Brazil’s agricultural potential on the international stage and the advances of national fruit production.
