The Brazilian government announced a health approval to export frozen pork mesentery and jowls to the Philippine market, reinforcing the two countries' trade relationship and mutually benefiting the processed food industry. This approval is part of a broader strategy by Brazil to expand its agricultural market reach, with successful openings in the Philippine market for tilapia fingerlings, animal recycling products, and ornamental fish, among 205 new markets discovered in 2024, totaling 283 openings in 62 countries since 2023. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) to enhance the global competitiveness of Brazilian agribusiness.
