EU market access secured for sustainable baru nuts with Hogan Lovells support

The authorisation opens up the EU market to the baru nut, a key product of the Brazilian sociobiodiversity, and is essential as part of a strategy that aims to build livelihoods, prevent deforestation, and support environmental sustainability.

This project shows that it is possible for small forestry businesses to overcome barriers to enter global markets and position themselves for success in exporting non-timber forest products. It also underscores the importance of strategic partnerships, meticulous planning, and solid regulatory advice in unlocking market access for biodiversity products. Read more on the project here.

The Hogan Lovells team was led by Brussels-based Senior EU Regulatory Affairs Advisor Jacqueline Mailly who worked closely together with Exponent scientists in this application.
