Croplife Brasil\u2014the organization representing biotech companies\u2014along with the national associations of corn (Abramilho) and cotton (Abrapa) producers and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) will seek to advance negotiations with Chinese authorities for a long-awaited agreement on the synchronized approval of genetically modified (GM) crops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At least ten GM seed varieties already approved in Brazil have not been planted because they are still under review in China\u2014a process that can take up to eight years. Since China is the primary buyer of Brazilian soybeans and a major importer of Brazilian corn, exporting products containing traits not approved in China could trigger trade barriers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eduardo Le\u00e3o, executive director of Croplife Brasil, said the goal is to sign a memorandum of understanding that would align approval processes between the two countries and open the door for China to export its own biotechnology to Brazil. \u201cWe are optimistic, as the timing is favorable. China has been investing more in biotechnology and gene editing, and there\u2019s growing interest in exporting this technology to Brazil,\u201d he told Valor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the Brazilian delegation is in China, the biotechnology committee of the China-Brazil High-Level Commission for Consultation and Cooperation (Cosban) will meet to address the issue. Mr. Le\u00e3o noted that President Lula\u2019s presence in the country will help \u201cboost\u201d the sector\u2019s outreach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe relationship with China has reached a level of maturity, transparency, and clarity among the negotiating teams that is unprecedented,\u201d said Luis Rua, secretary of international relations at the Ministry of Agriculture. \u201cThis has enabled significant progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The National Union of Corn Ethanol (Unem) will also host a seminar with Chinese importers to promote dried distillers grains (DDG), a high-protein byproduct of ethanol production used in animal feed. Market access for DDG is one of the key items on Agriculture Minister Carlos F\u00e1varo\u2019s agenda during talks with Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is a very opportune moment for Brazil to position itself, as two global powers are hitting each other with tariffs,\u201d said Guilherme Nolasco, president of Unem. \u201cThis opens opportunities, and we must be ready to play. Brazil is the reliable alternative for food and energy supply.\u201d He noted that Brazil\u2019s efforts to sell DDG and ethanol to China began before Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brazilian orange juice exporters, meanwhile, are pushing for a tariff adjustment that would provide greater predictability in trade relations with China and potentially encourage future Brazilian investments in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Currently, there are two export tax rates for orange juice\u20147.5% and 20%\u2014depending on the temperature at which the product arrives at Chinese ports. The industry is seeking to unify the tariff at 7.5%, even though this lower rate currently results in higher energy and logistics costs.<\/p>\n
