Peru opens market for exports of gelatin and collagen from Brazil

Brazil has received approval from Peru to export gelatin and non-edible bovine bone collagen, marking it as the tenth market for Brazilian agribusiness products in Peru in less than a year. The total exports to Peru from January 2023 to October 2024 are expected to exceed US$ 1.27 billion, with a focus on forestry products, meats, and the soy complex. This new authorization is part of Brazil's broader strategy to expand its agricultural market reach, having opened 199 new markets in the current year, totaling 277 openings in 61 countries since 2023, a effort spearheaded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
