The initiative is designed for anyone involved in agribusiness or production agriculture, offering a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange and operational insights.

Brazil Strengthens Global Diplomatic and Economic Ties, Emphasizing Peace and Cooperation

Brazil is actively pursuing a foreign policy centered on peace, integration, and peaceful coexistence among states, as outlined in Article 4 of its Constitution.

This decision, which effectively ends a 20% charge on orders up to US$50, was reversed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who had previously opposed the tax. The levy, known as 'taxa das blusinhas' or de minimis, primarily affected cheap clothing, phone cases, and household goods bought by lower-income consumers. The U.S. ended its US$800 de minimis exemption for goods from mainland China and Hong Kong in May last year, and then suspended it for all origins in August, leading to significant user losses for platforms like Shein and Temu in the U.S. and EU.
