Brazil warns of response after EU bans imports
Brazil, the world's largest exporter of beef, announced that it is studying similar measures following the European Union's decision to suspend imports of its animal products due to concerns over the use of antibiotics and antimicrobial drugs in cattle. The European Commission had temporarily halted imports, deeming that Brazil had failed to provide sufficient guarantees that its products comply with European standards. Brazil is one of the major suppliers of meat to the EU, exporting around 108,000 tons valued at approximately one billion dollars in 2025, reflecting the significance of the trade relationship between the two parties. The Brazilian government also informed the ministry that it will consider reciprocal measures to ensure the continued balanced conduct of trade, in accordance with international trade agreements.
