The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply in Brazil is focusing on dairy products and bovine by-products as potential export opportunities for Mato Grosso do Sul. The state's main exports are beef, cellulose, and soy beans, heavily dependent on China. The Ministry is working towards diversifying these products in other markets and has opened 149 markets since the beginning of the current administration. The state also has potential to export dairy products and fish, with a particular focus on tilapia. The Ministry is encouraging producers to prepare for exports and will support them through a Federal Government program.
