The Brazilian government announced that the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries have opened their markets to Brazilian cocoa bean exports. This comes after previous authorizations for Brazil to export live pigs, bovine semen and embryos, and live breeding and production cattle. From January to August 2024, Brazil exported over US$865 million in agricultural products to the EAEU, including soybeans, beef, green coffee, and raw sugar. This marks Brazil's 175th market opening of the year and 253rd since 2023, expanding its reach to 60 destinations.
