India accounted for $3.21 billion of Brazil’s ag exports in 2025 (9th largest market, under 2% share) but could reach $9 billion annually by 2030, or roughly 8% of total shipments, according to the Agriculture Ministry. In Feb 2026, it ranked as the 5th largest buyer ($353 million). Current flows are led by soybean oil, sugar and cotton, with gradual diversification; chicken exports rose 21% in 2025 to $85 million. Bilateral trade totaled $15 billion (+25.5% y/y), with a $20 billion target by 2030. Market access remains constrained by import tariffs of up to 35% on meat, strict sanitary rules and a 28-day transit time from Santos to Mumbai. Cultural factors also cap beef demand.
