Brazil has reached an agreement with the Indian government to export five citrus fruits, including Tahiti lime, Sicilian lemon, sweet orange, and tangerine. This agreement is part of a broader strategy to enhance trade relations between Brazil and India, which already includes exports such as açaí, fish, and avocados.
India ranks as the 10th largest destination for Brazilian agricultural exports, importing over USD 3 billion worth of products like soybeans and sugar in the past year. The inclusion of citrus fruits is anticipated to diversify Brazil's export offerings, particularly in higher value-added goods.
The initiative is part of a larger effort initiated in 2023, with Brazil securing 355 new market access opportunities. The negotiation was carried out by Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) and the Ministry of Agriculture (Mapa), underscoring the importance of international partnerships in expanding Brazilian exports.
