Brazil and China have made significant headways in negotiations for the supply of beans and special crops, with the support of the ApexBrasil Project and the Brazilian Institute of Feijão and Pulses (IBRAFE). The advancements were facilitated by a recent mission to China, during which a cooperation agreement for business in the sector of pulses and special crops was signed. The mission, which included four Brazilian companies, received a warm reception and marked substantial progress towards the opening of the Chinese market for Brazilian beans and sesame.
