The Brazilian government announces a significant development in trade relations with Kenya, with the Kenyan health authority approving the International Health Certificate (CSI) model for beef, meat products, and bovine offal exports from Brazil. This approval, expected to boost trade between the two countries, which traded over US$41 million in agricultural goods in 2024, will allow Kenya's population of 55 million to have access to high-quality meats, helping to meet the country's growing demand for animal protein. The process for local importers to begin trading in Brazilian beef and its derivatives involves obtaining necessary import licenses and conducting risk assessments for each potential exporter. This achievement is part of ongoing efforts to diversify Brazil's commercial partnerships and strengthen its national production sector, marking one of 321 new business opportunities secured by Brazilian agribusiness since 2023, a result of collaborative efforts between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).
