Xi Jinping and Lula sign over 30 agreements to boost trade between China and Brazil

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Brazil on Wednesday, meeting with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. They signed over 30 agreements, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. During the visit, China announced it would open its market to Brazilian sorghum, sesame, and fresh grapes. This is a significant development for Brazil, which has long sought to export grapes to China. Negotiations included discussions on other agricultural exports, such as pork and beef offal. Brazilian producers have been cautious about concessions due to concerns over increased competition from Chinese imports.
