Lula's government strengthens its relations with China, the United States, and the European Union, positioning Brazilian beef and soybeans as global benchmarks.

The productive sector regrets that, given the market opportunity, there are few plants processing sheep.

Brazil has been supplementing its domestic fish production with large imports to meet market demand, and federal auditors have recommended quality checks to ensure safe and sensible purchases. Products such as cod and salmon usually come from countries such as Norway and Chile and are subject to strict quality and health controls to ensure they are safe to eat. Data from the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC) show that total imports reached 41,700 tons in the first quarter of this year. Imports of frozen, fresh or chilled fish fillets and meats fell slightly (5.9%) compared to the same period last year (Easter was in March). Since December last year, cod and salmon imports have surged at Brazilian ports and airports, in line with the expected increase in demand, and these products are subject to thorough inspections by federal agricultural inspectors at ports, airports, borders and processing facilities.
