Brazil Strengthens Agricultural Ties with China Amid US-China Trade War

Top Brazilian and Chinese agriculture officials will meet in Brasilia this week to discuss expanding Brazilian agricultural exports to China amid rising demand and ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China. The talks, scheduled for Thursday and Friday, will focus on key Brazilian exports such as soybeans and beef, and aim to fill the gap left by U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. Brazil is seeking to increase its harvest and gain accreditation for its slaughterhouses after China recently rejected 28 facilities over sanitary concerns.
Brazilian Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro will meet with Zhang Zhili, China’s vice minister of agriculture. The meeting comes amid a escalating trade dispute between the United States and China, with China recently raising tariffs on American goods to 125%. Brazil is benefiting from China’s search for alternative suppliers to fill the void left by declining U.S. exports.
The talks will also cover China’s 10-year agricultural development plan, under which Brazil aims to align its exports and boost domestic grain processing. Officials hope to deepen cooperation in technology and research, bolstering Brazil’s role as a stable partner amid uncertain global trade.
