Russian recognition of Brazil’s sanitary status reinforces international confidence in agricultural defense, occurs after OMSA certification and adds to agendas on exports, fish, nuts, fertilizers, and promotion of Brazilian beef in Moscow during official Mapa mission

The Brazilian agribusiness gained momentum on June 10, 2026, when Russia recognized Brazil as a country free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination, a decision that reinforces the sanitary agenda.

The recognition was formalized during a mission of the Ministry of Agriculture, with agendas in St. Petersburg, Kirovsk, and Moscow. The delegation was led by Luís Rua.

The decision comes after the OMSA certification in 2025 and adds to the announcement by China.

Brazilian agribusiness in negotiation

The program began at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which brings together authorities, entrepreneurs, and productive sectors. Luís Rua participated in panels on economic relations between Brazil, Russia, and BRICS countries.

There were also meetings with representatives from Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and Vietnam. In Moscow, the agenda addressed sanitary cooperation, establishment approvals, agricultural exports, and commercial opportunities.

The bilateral relationship recorded advances, such as the approval of Brazilian fish establishments for the Russian market and the opening for nut exports.

Fertilizers and beef

The mission included a visit to PhosAgro’s phosphate fertilizer operation. The unit produces apatite concentrate, a raw material for fertilizers.

The delegation met with Russian companies in the sector. The discussions reinforced the perception that Brazil is treated as a priority market.

In 2025, bilateral trade exceeded US$ 10 billion for the second consecutive year. Brazil exports meats, coffee, and peanuts, while importing fertilizers and wheat.

In Moscow, the delegation participated in the Brazilian Beef Dinner, promoted by ABIEC and ApexBrasil, to promote beef to Russian importers.

Comment on how this recognition might impact Brazilian agribusiness, external sales of meat, fish, and nuts, fertilizer supply, and commercial relations with Russia, especially after the sanitary advances and agendas carried out in Moscow.
