Brazil, recognized for its significant biodiversity, is also a leading fruit producer worldwide, ranking third in global production. This is attributed to the collaborative efforts of producers, associations, and government entities aimed at enhancing the sector.
With an increasing demand for healthy and sustainable foods, Brazilian fruits have gained prominence in international markets. In 2023, the country's fruit exports reached a milestone, surpassing 1.2 billion dollars in revenue, marking a 26.73% increase from the previous year. This achievement was supported by a 6% increase in export volume, exceeding one million tons of fruit.
The quality of Brazilian fruits, bolstered by investments in technology and innovation across production, harvesting, storage, and transportation phases, plays a crucial role in maintaining their esteemed status in foreign markets. Brazil's stringent certification system ensures adherence to high-quality and food safety standards. Efforts to penetrate new markets have been successful, with negotiations underway to export grapes to China and South Korea, avocados to the United States, Chile, Japan, and India, and melons and apples to Malaysia.
