SAO PAULO, May 18 (Reuters) - A deal for China to buy more U.S. agricultural goods could prompt Brazil to exploit gaps left by U.S. shipments ‌in other markets, as Washington focuses exports on Brazil’s top trading partner, industry experts said ‌on Monday.

Estimates of the impact on Brazil’s farm sector from the agreement announced on Sunday by the White House ​could be premature, though the competitiveness of Brazil could result in the country pushing in to other markets, the experts said.

Brazil’s agricultural exports to China reached $55.22 billion in 2025 — about one-third of the sector’s total overseas sales last year — according to government data. Soybeans accounted for $34.5 billion of that total, followed ‌by meat at $9.82 billion.

The White House ⁠estimates additional Chinese purchases of U.S. soy at 25 million metric tons and, if they materialize, Brazil would likely redirect its own trade flows, brokerage ⁠Stag International said.

“A Chinese soybean purchase program of 25 million tons would mainly displace buyers outside China toward Brazil and other origins,” the brokerage said in a report.

According to Stag, Brazil remains structurally competitive and, ​with ​a forecast record crop of over 180 million tons ​in 2026, should continue to capture significant ‌demand outside China.

Soybean trading and processing groups Anec and Abiove did not immediately respond to questions.

Ironically, Brazil could boost beef exports to the U.S. if the North American country — facing tight supply — channels more of its product to China.

“In principle, if the renewal of U.S. plant approvals (by China) is confirmed, there could be interest from the United States in recapturing part of its share in ‌the Chinese market. Given the large shortfall in U.S. ​production to meet domestic demand, opportunities could emerge for ​other countries, such as Brazil, to expand ​sales to the U.S.,” said Paulo Mustefaga, CEO of industry group Abrafrigo.

China renewed ‌more than 400 expired export licenses for ​U.S. beef processors, the ​Chinese customs website showed on Friday, after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a summit in Beijing.

“It is worth noting that the United States, like Brazil, ​is also subject to a ‌quota on beef exports under safeguard measures (by China), which should limit any expansion of ​U.S. sales to the Chinese market,” Mustefaga added.

Good luck to the tennis players on Jannik Sinner's side of the bracket at the 2026 French Open.

Sinner kept his hot streak alive on Sunday, May 17, becoming the first Italian in 50 years to win the Italian Open.Sinner beat Casper Ruud, 6-4, 6-4, and joined Novak Djokokic as the only men to have won all nine Masters 1000 events in their career. Djokokic, however, was 31 years old when he accomplished the feat. Sinner doesn't turn 25 years old until August.

The Masters 1000 events are considered the biggest tournaments in professional tennis outside of the Grand Slams. Sinner completed the "Career Golden Masters,"according to the ATP, after winning his first event in Toronto in 2023. He's 10-2 in ATP Masters 1000 finals during that time, with the only defeats coming to Alcaraz.

WithCarlos Alcaraz not playing the clay-court Grand Slamdue to a wrist injury, Sinner is the overwhelming French Open favorite. It's the only Grand Slam event he has not yet won.

Sinner lost last year's Italian Open final to Alcaraz in his first tournament back afterserving a three-month doping ban. He didn't waste another opportunity to make history against Ruud. Sinner overcame an early break in the first set, then broke Ruud's serve in the first game of the second set en route to his straight-set win.

Adriano Panatta, the last Italian to win the Italian Open in 1976, presented Sinner with the trophy during an post-match ceremony.

"I'm happy one of us was able to take advantage of this great period for Italian tennis," Sinner said, according to ESPN
