Partnership aims to expand Brazilian biological inputs exports and strengthen global market access

Brazil’s biological inputs sector has reached a new stage of internationalization with ABINBIO (Brazilian Association of Bio-Input Industries) formally joining ApexBrasil’s National Bio-Inputs Export Committee. The move brings together ABINBIO, CropLife Brazil, and ApexBrasil in a coordinated effort to expand Brazil’s presence in global markets for sustainable agricultural technologies.

ABINBIO’s inclusion, facilitated by CropLife Brazil and ApexBrasil—Brazil’s trade and investment promotion agency—integrates the association’s member companies into the Brazil Bio-Inputs Project, an initiative designed to strengthen international market access and increase exports of biological inputs and sustainable agribusiness solutions.

Strategic Export Framework

The Brazil Bio-Inputs Project is structured around four strategic pillars aimed at leveraging Brazil’s strengths as both a large-scale producer and user of biological inputs:

Global Brand Positioning: Promoting Brazil’s technological expertise, product quality, and competitiveness in large-scale bio-input production, particularly for tropical agriculture. The initiative positions Brazilian agriculture as aligned with sustainability and bioeconomy principles.

Market Access Support: Assisting companies in navigating regulatory and commercial barriers in priority markets, including Latin America, the European Union, and the United States.

Trade Promotion Infrastructure: Supporting participation in international trade fairs, business missions, and investor meetings to convert market opportunities into export contracts.

Export Growth Targets: Contributing to sector-wide export growth and consolidating Brazil’s role as a major global bio-inputs supplier.

Industry Leaders Highlight Export Potential

“This is an innovative milestone for Brazilian agriculture and recognition of the country’s enormous export potential in biological inputs,” said Mauro Brant Heringer, ABINBIO’s International Relations Director. “Brazil is ready to take its sustainability-driven technologies to global markets.”

Amália Borsari, Bio-Inputs Director at CropLife Brazil, said ABINBIO’s participation strengthens the industry’s international positioning. “ABINBIO’s involvement is a great opportunity for Brazilian technology companies to demonstrate global leadership and reinforce the sector’s profile as an export-driven industry,” she said.

Competitive Advantages in a Growing Global Market

Brazilian bio-input companies bring distinct competitive advantages to international markets, including formulation technologies and application protocols developed for tropical climates, high-intensity production systems, and integrated pest management.

The sector is predominantly domestically owned, with 82.8 per cent of registered bio-input companies controlled by Brazilian capital, supporting local innovation and long-term export capacity.

According to DunhamTrimmer Bio Intelligence, Brazil’s biological inputs market already exceeds $ 1.5 billion and is projected to surpass $ 3 billion by the end of the decade. Brazil is expected to account for more than 20 per cent of global biocontrol market growth between 2021 and 2030.

Sector Maturity and Institutional Coordination

The establishment of a national export committee with ApexBrasil signals the biological inputs sector’s transition from a primarily domestic market to a strategic export industry. The coordinated framework involving ABINBIO, CropLife Brazil, and ApexBrasil provides institutional support previously unavailable to companies pursuing international expansion individually.

As global demand for sustainable agricultural solutions accelerates, the initiative positions Brazil to compete more systematically in fast-growing international bio-inputs markets.
