On March 19, 2019, the U.S. and Brazil released a joint statement on a number of trade-related commitments.
Both Presidents intend to negotiate a Mutual Recognition Agreement on each country’s Trusted Trader programs. Brazil will implement an import tariff rate quota up to 750 thousand tons of U.S. wheat with a zero rate of duty. As part of the trade commitments, “the United States agreed to expeditiously schedule a technical visit by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to audit Brazil’s raw beef inspection system.”
