Brazil’s Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro said on Monday that the Brazilian government will announce farm agreements with its biggest trade partner China on Wednesday, ahead of scheduled meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Xi, who is in the country for the G-20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, is set to hold meetings with Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday in the capital Brasilia.
The minister noted that the export deals expected to be announced with China will potentially cover fruit, beef and pork, as well as mentioning an updated list of Brazilian meatpackers that could be approved to export to the Asian giant.
