Brazilian Agriculture

Brazil stands as a global powerhouse in agriculture, bolstered by its extensive cultivation of soybeans, sugar, coffee, and more. Central to maintaining the country's agricultural standards and facilitating international trade is the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply, known as MAPA. For foreign companies aiming to enter Brazil's agricultural sector, understanding MAPA's regulatory framework is crucial. Here’s where Berg & Co comes in, offering expert guidance to ensure seamless compliance and successful product registration with MAPA.


The Critical Role of MAPA


MAPA is responsible for managing and regulating Brazil's agricultural policies, ensuring food safety, and promoting the sustainable development of rural areas. Its regulations impact various facets of the agricultural industry, from the approval of agricultural inputs like pesticides and veterinary products to the certification of organic products and the inspection of animal-derived products.


Key Functions of MAPA Include:

  • Regulation and Approval: Setting standards and regulations for agricultural products and practices.

  • Inspection and Enforcement: Ensuring compliance with agricultural laws and regulations through rigorous inspections.

  • Promotion of Agricultural Trade: Facilitating international trade through the establishment of sanitary and phytosanitary measures.


Navigating Product Registration with MAPA

For foreign agricultural companies, navigating the registration process with MAPA can be complex due to stringent regulatory requirements. Understanding this process is vital for legal market access and successful operation in Brazil.


Steps in the MAPA Registration Process Include:

  1. Pre-assessment: Understanding the specific regulations applicable to your product category.

  2. Documentation: Preparing comprehensive documentation that demonstrates compliance with Brazilian agricultural standards.

  3. Submission and Review: Submitting the documentation for MAPA’s review and addressing any queries they might have.

  4. Approval: Following a successful review, receiving approval which permits market entry.
