Brazil has gained approval to export live cattle to Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Representatives from the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture received the International Zoosanitary Certificate (CZI) from the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision of Russia, allowing for the export of live animals to these countries. Last year, Brazilian agribusiness products generated $1.8 billion in revenue for the UEEA, with soybean shipments accounting for 48% of the total.
