Abiquim notes that the Brazilian industry already has an established customer base outside the American axis, specifically citing Spain, Italy, and France as stepping stones for a more consistent expansion into Europe.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">For Brazil, deepening this presence on the European continent means not only diluting risks concentrated in a single partner, but also consolidating categories such as organic chemicals and medical-hospital materials in a market that already recognizes the Brazilian product.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Read more at: <a href=\"https:\/\/jornalgrandebahia.com.br\/2026\/08\/industria-quimica-brasileira-busca-diversificar-exportacoes-diante-de-novas-tarifas-dos-eua\/\">https:\/\/jornalgrandebahia.com.br\/2026\/08\/industria-quimica-brasileira-busca-diversificar-exportacoes-diante-de-novas-tarifas-dos-eua\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facing the new package of US tariffs on Brazilian products, the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim) has begun advocating that opening new markets should cease to be a short-term reaction and become a permanent axis of the commercial policy for the Brazilian chemical sector.
