In FY2025-26 Bangladesh exported US$1.0 billion of agricultural products and US$443 million of frozen and live fish. Exports of these to Brazil were close to zero, so this is a market to open rather than one to grow.
Brazil imported US$1.44 billion of fish and crustaceans in 2025. Its import duty is 9% on frozen whole shrimp and 9% on black tea in small packs.
Regulation decides access. Fish and shrimp exporters typically need their processing plant approved by Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA); plant products need phytosanitary certification; packaged food needs Portuguese labelling under ANVISA rules. Confirm each requirement for your product.
At the fair, food for exhibition, tasting or distribution needs ANVISA's prior approval, and finished products for distribution may not be imported if they expire within 30 days of sanitary release. Buying tasting stock in Brazil is often simpler.
