🇧🇷 Export Markets
Brazil
Brazil's large Arab diaspora, growing natural food market and food processing industry create niche but growing demand for Egyptian chickpeas, sesame seeds and specialty seeds.
Why Brazil Buys Egyptian Pulses
Brazil's food culture includes chickpeas (grão-de-bico) in salads, appetizers and everyday cooking, and lentils in health-oriented soups and processed foods. A growing plant-based food market combined with demand from Brazil's sesame oil and tahini production industry creates structured import demand for Egyptian pulses and sesame seeds.
Brazilian buyers are typically food importers and commodity brokers based in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro supplying retail chains, food manufacturers and wholesale distributors. Sesame buyers often include processors or crushers sourcing natural (unhulled) sesame for oil extraction or tahini production.
Brazilian pulse imports are regulated by MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply). Required documentation: Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Analysis, GOEIC Certificate of Origin and standard commercial documents. Retail-packed consignments require labels in Portuguese. No import quota or licence applies to Egyptian pulses or sesame seeds.
