About this book

This book provides an essential overview of trade between Brazil and China, analyzes the regulatory framework for Brazil’s foodstuff exportation and China’s foodstuff importation, and identifies the main products, market shares, barriers to market access, and e-commerce strategies. The book also addresses the importance of consumer health and the latest developments regarding the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection. Lastly, based on the statistics for Brazil’s food exports to Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau as separate customs areas, the book explores the role of Macau and calls for intensifying its links with Portuguese-speaking countries, including Brazil.

Chapter 1. Overview on Trade Between Brazil and China
Abstract
Overall, trade between China and Brazil has seen a positive evolution in the decade 2006–2016. From a trade volume of approximately US$20 billion in 2006, trade increased to approximately US$68 billion in 2016. This means that, from 2006 to 2016, the volume of trade between the two countries more than tripled.

Chapter 2. Brazil’s Foodstuff Exportation
Abstract
The regulation of food-trading activities in Brazil implies the intervention and action of several entities. As a matter of fact, the food sanitary control model in Brazil is fragmented between two entities from the public administration: the Ministry of Health, through the National Agency for Sanitary Supervision (ANVISA), and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, as the main responsible bodies.

Chapter 3. China’s Foodstuff Importation
Abstract
China is the most populated country in the world, counting with almost 1/5 of the world population. This fact and the scarcity of resources, namely arable land and water, cause the perspectives of growth of its agricultural production to be limited. Additionally, the rising of the living standards of the great part of its population, increasingly available to pay high prices makes the search for high quality and reliability products rise.

Chapter 4. Consumer Health and Safety: The Importance of Product Safety
Abstract
Among the various issues that permeate consumer protection, there is consumer health and safety: a sensitive issue, which has gained international importance. An example of this is the inclusion of the item on the agenda of the United Nations Intergovernmental Group of Experts, which at its second session in July 2017 requested the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development to carry out a study on the subject.

Chapter 5. The Role of Macau as a Platform
Abstract
Macau, which is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, under Portuguese administration until 1999, when she returned to the motherland, holds a strategic political position, serving as a link between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
