FRUIT GROWING STANDS OUT AMONG BRAZILIAN EXPORTS

Brazil ranks third in global fruit production, employing 16% of the agribusiness workforce. In 2023, fruit exports hit a record $1.35 billion, primarily to the European Union. Key exports include mangoes, melons, grapes, and lemons/limes. The Ministry of Agriculture supports fruit farming through best practices and export incentives. Major production areas include the Northeast for mangoes and melons, and São Paulo and the South for grapes. The Secretary of Agricultural Defense oversees inspections and certifications to meet international standards. Brazil’s National Waste and Contaminant Control Plan ensures compliance with pesticide regulations. The focus is on quality, traceability, and sustainability to maintain global competitiveness.
