Trade Agreement with South America Opens Markets for Baden-Württemberg - EU-Mercosur trade deal unlocks a 700-million-strong market for European exporters

A landmark free trade deal between the EU and Mercosur will create the world’s largest trade zone, covering over 700 million people. The agreement aims to boost exports by gradually removing tariffs on more than 91% of EU goods sent to the bloc, offering fresh opportunities for businesses in key industries.

The deal follows years of negotiation, with final concessions made to address concerns from Europe’s agricultural lobby. Farmers had warned that increased competition from Mercosur nations could threaten local producers.

The trade zone will span roughly 20% of global economic output and over 30% of worldwide exports. Baden-Württemberg’s Minister of Economic Affairs highlighted its potential for the region’s core sectors: automotive, mechanical engineering, chemicals, and electrical engineering. These industries, heavily reliant on exports, stand to gain from reduced trade barriers and modernisation demands in Mercosur markets. Analysts suggest the agreement will particularly benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the state. By lowering costs and simplifying access to new markets, the deal could strengthen Baden-Württemberg’s position as a leading exporter.

The EU-Mercosur agreement opens doors for key industries while addressing long-standing trade tensions. With tariffs set to fall on most exports, businesses in Baden-Württemberg now face expanded opportunities in a market representing a significant share of global commerce. The deal’s success will depend on how quickly companies adapt to the new trade conditions.
