Brazilian beef is preparing to arrive in Japan in the coming months and, if Roberto Perosa, current president of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec) and former Secretary of Trade and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), is to decide, this will only be the beginning.

Brazil is preparing to export beef in Japan

"In February I will travel with some businessmen to Japan for an audience with the Japanese Minister of Agriculture. Japan still depends on specific acceptances and certificates related to Brazilian products", Perosa said.

According to the president of Abiec, with negotiations underway, the intention is to speed up contacts so that the Brazilian government has some favourable signals in March: Perosa leaves for the Asian country on February 8.

However, Japan is not the only priority market for the sector. Three other strategic countries are in the spotlight: Turkey, Vietnam and South Korea. These countries, together with Japan, represent 30% of the world demand for beef.

"Much of the work has already been done. Negotiations with Japan, Turkey and Vietnam are in the final stages, while the process with South Korea is a little further behind. Even so, progress in negotiations with the first three countries makes us confident that we can start exporting soon", says Perosa.

According to projections, Brazil could export 4.032 million tons of carcass equivalent in 2025, a slight increase compared to 2024. However, this volume represents a new level for the sector. In 2024, Brazilian beef shipments reached an all-time high, with a growth of 26% compared to 2023.
