Iran Boosts Nut and Caviar Exports to Brazil, Says Agriculture Minister
In a significant development for agricultural trade, Iran is set to enhance its export activities to Brazil, as highlighted during the recent 15th meeting of agriculture ministers of BRICS. This collaboration opens up new avenues for the export of various products including caviar, dried nuts, kiwi fruit, pomegranate, and apples from Iran to Brazil.
The BRICS group, comprising emerging economies, plays a crucial role in global agriculture and trade. It represents about 50 percent of the world’s population and accounts for one-third of the world’s economy. This makes the agricultural exchanges among its member countries particularly important.
During the conference, it was emphasized that the total volume of agricultural exchanges within the BRICS countries stands at approximately $160 billion. Iran’s contribution to this figure is notable, amounting to $13 billion in agricultural exchanges. Specifically, the maximum exchange of agricultural products between Iran and Brazil has reached around $7 billion.
On April 14, Iranian Agriculture Minister Gholamreza Nouri Ghezeljeh led a delegation to Brazil for the 15th BRICS Agriculture Ministers’ Meeting. This visit was pivotal in discussing essential agricultural matters and strengthening ties between the two nations.
Since officially joining BRICS in January 2024, Iran’s participation in these meetings signifies its commitment to enhancing its role within the group. This involvement not only elevates Iran’s standing among BRICS member states but also strengthens Tehran’s influence in the global agricultural industry.
- Increased Exports: Iran aims to boost the export of key agricultural products to Brazil.
- BRICS Overview: The BRICS nations represent a significant portion of the global economy and population.
- Financial Figures: The total agricultural trade within BRICS is about $160 billion, with Iran contributing $13 billion.

This strategic partnership between Iran and Brazil is expected to yield fruitful results, enhancing trade relations and promoting agricultural development. The focus on agricultural exports not only serves economic interests but also fosters cooperation among member nations, paving the way for future growth.
As Iran continues to participate actively in BRICS meetings, it reflects a broader strategy to engage with emerging economies and bolster its agricultural sector. The discussions held at the recent meeting are likely to lead to further agreements that will solidify and expand trade in agricultural products.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Iran and Brazil within the BRICS framework is a promising development for both countries. With a commitment to increasing agricultural exports and fostering strong economic ties, this partnership is poised to benefit the agricultural industries of both nations significantly.
