| The following GAIN reports were released on May 23, 2025. _______
On May 20, 2025, the Argentine Government extended lower export tax on wheat and barley of 9.5 percent through March 2026. All the other commodities will return to their higher previous levels on July 1, 2025. On May 16, 2025, Brazil, the world's largest chicken meat exporter, reported its first case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in a commercial plant. The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has initiated measures to resolve the case, including a sanitary void period as of May 22nd for 28 days. Brazil expects a reduction in trade restrictions by the end of this period. The sector does not plan to decrease production levels, as foreign demand remains high. As of May 10, 2025, Costa Rica's National Animal Health Service (SENASA) has streamlined the facility registration process for U.S. dairy products. This report contains guidance on the new process for U.S. dairy producers, exporters, and traders interested in exporting to Costa Rica. Rwanda is a growing economy with a young population and expanding retail sector that offers opportunities for U.S. agricultural and food exports. The country's increasing demand for safe, high-quality products coupled with the growth of modern retail and e-commerce platforms creates favorable entry points. However, exporters must navigate high tariffs, regulatory hurdles, and regional competition. This guide provides U.S. exporters with key insights into Rwanda's market landscape, identifies priority product opportunities, and outlines strategies to effectively navigate the business and regulatory environment. Thailand's Department of Fisheries (DOF) has established procedures to certify aquatic animals developed through genome editing technology for domestic research and development, production, and/or distribution. Eligible animals must show gene knockout, induced mutation, or novel gene traits without incorporating foreign DNA. DOF requires electronic application submission. DOF or its designated centers will review applications, monitor certified animals, and may revoke certifications if standards are not met or if false information is discovered. Certification revocation takes immediate effect. For more information, or for an archive of all FAS GAIN reports, please visit gain.fas.usda.gov/. |
