Secretary of Commerce and International Relations, Luis Rua, has emphasized his administration's focus on strengthening Brazil's trade relations and providing more opportunities for rural producers. This includes continuing the work of previous administrations to open and expand markets, diversifying the agricultural agenda, and increasing the number of agricultural attachés. Under President Lula's government, Brazil has already opened 253 markets in 60 countries, with a goal of reaching 300. Rua also highlighted the importance of COP 30, to be held in Belém next year, in demonstrating the sustainability of Brazilian agriculture and its contribution to global food security.
