00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The YouTube video titled "Austrália muda regra para importar mais cachaça do Brasil" (Australia changes rule to import more cachaça from Brazil) reports on the recent success of Brazilian embassador Fernando Meirelles Pimentel in negotiating with Australian authorities to relax the importation rules for Brazilian cachaça. Previously, the requirement for aging cachaça in wooden barrels for at least two years was a significant barrier to exports due to most Brazilian production methods not following this method. The embassador also mentions the confusion between cachaça and rum as another obstacle. This change is expected to benefit the agricultural sector in Brazil, as Australia was already a significant trade partner before this adjustment. The speaker also highlights the potential for growth in the Italian market, where Brazilian cachaça exports reached $2.4 million. The negotiations involved various ministries and organizations, and were resolved through bilateral talks and reinforcement of Brazil's plea in the WTO. The video also touches upon Brazil's recent focus on expanding exports to new markets, such as China for meat and the Philippines for protein animal products.

• 00:00:00 In this section, the Brazilian Embassador, Fernando Meirelles Pimentel, discusses the recent announcement by Australia's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock that they have relaxed the customs rule limiting the importation of Brazilian cachaça into the country. The embassador explains that the previous requirement for countries to have their cachaça aged for at least two years in wooden barrels was a problem because most Brazilian exports do not follow this method of production. He also mentions the confusion between cachaça and rum as another obstacle to international sales. This barrier prevented around 90% of Brazilian cachaça exports to Australia. The news is welcomed by the agricultural sector as an opportunity to expand exports to this market, which already had significant trade before this change. The embassador also mentions the potential for growth in the Italian market, where Brazilian cachaça exports reach $2.4 million. The negotiation involved the Ministries of Foreign Relations and Agriculture, as well as the OCD, and was resolved through bilateral talks and reinforcement of Brazil's plea in the WTO.
