According to a report by Chacra, Brazil and the People’s Republic of China signed an export protocol that authorizes the purchase of fish of Brazilian origin by the Asian country.

This agreement was signed in the capital of the South American country, Brasília, and is expected to be a key factor in the expansion and development of the local agribusiness sector, due to the large population of the Chinese market.

This protocol is expected to boost the work of Brazilian producers, allowing them to export a wide variety of fish species caught in their natural habitat, once they meet the quality and sanitary requirements demanded by the General Administration of Customs of China for entry into the Asian country.

Negotiations for this agreement date back to 2016, since the demand for Brazilian fish by China had already been high, and the agreement was finally concluded nine years later, in 2025, through Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply.

It is worth noting that, during the previous year, the People’s Republic of China imported fishery products valued at around 18 billion dollars, demonstrating that the Chinese market is one of the largest importers of these products.

Now, with the protocol, the range of fishery products exported from Brazil to China is expected to increase, as the agreement raises the number of Brazilian products allowed to enter the country led by Xi Jinping to 350, further positioning the agroindustry as one of the most important sectors of the nation.

As part of the meeting where the export protocol was signed, various representatives from both countries were present. On behalf of the People’s Republic of China, Lyu Weihong, Vice Minister of the GACC, led a delegation of officials, along with specialists in phytosanitary and sanitary matters.

On the Brazilian side, attendees included Allan Alvarenga, Undersecretary of Agricultural Defense; Luís Rua, Secretary of Trade and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply; José Ravagnani, Director of the Department of the Fishing Industry; and Marcel Moreira, Undersecretary of Trade and International Relations.

It is expected that with this new protocol, other fishing sectors may also benefit, since the agreement could encourage investment aimed at the sustainable development of the sector, as well as in areas such as logistics, infrastructure, and the overall modernization of Brazil’s fishing industry.

Last but not least, with this new export protocol, Brazil continues to position itself as a leading food exporter, reaffirming its competitiveness in foreign trade, especially in fishery products. In addition, this agreement will contribute to the development of Brazilian producers by increasing their opportunities for sales in the international market.
