Brazil opens the Rwandan market for exports of live cattle and genetic material
Mar, 25, 2026 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202613
The Brazilian government has concluded negotiations that will allow Brazil to export live cattle and genetic material to Rwanda. The market openings cover live cattle and buffalo for breeding; live cattle for fattening and slaughter; bovine and buffalo embryos; and bovine semen.
In addition to strengthening trade with Rwanda, the openings signal growing opportunities in Africa for Brazilian producers and technical assistance services, given the continent’s strong potential for economic growth and population expansion. In 2025, Brazil exported more than $392 million in live cattle and bovine genetic material to Africa.
With this announcement, Brazilian agribusiness has reached 552 market openings since the beginning of 2023.
These results are the outcome of joint efforts between the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil.
