“…The increase in exports correlated with an overall increase in honey production, which was the result of governmental policies encouraging apiculture in the northeastern region (Handschuch et al, 2012, p. 58). The increase in honey exports is in line with a general export-promotion policy (see Hopewell, 2013Hopewell, , p. 2015, which also includes, for example, genetically modified (GM) crops (Pelaez, 2009;Tosun, 2013) and ethanol (Sanchez Badin & Godoy, 2014).…”

“…Second, and in line with the argument advanced by Daugbjerg and Swinbank (2012) about the "new politics" of food and agriculture, honey production is an area that is likely to bring together actors from different sectors with different interests. In Brazil, small units produce honey, which alone stands in marked contrast to the country's backbone of agricultural production-large corporate farm groups (Hopewell, 2013;Sanchez Badin & Godoy, 2014). The interests of the honey producers-which are clearly economically less important for the agribusiness sector-could conflict with the interests of the farming giants, hinting at the existence of a constellation in which different interests must be reconciled.…”

“…In parallel, the negotiations and conclusions of regional trade agreements and preferential trade agreements have fostered the growth of international trade flows (Briceño-Ruiz, 2010;Galantucci, 2014). 1 Latin American countries have been affected by this "rush to free trade"-as Rodrik (1992) puts it-as much as countries in other world regions (D€ ur, 2007;Milner & Kubota, 2005;Moreno-Brid, 2013;Phillips, 2003;Sanchez Badin & Godoy, 2014;Tosun, 2013;Weyland, 2004).…”

Since the 1980s, developing countries have been implementing radical reforms to increase their competitiveness in the global economy. While the increased export orientation has had positive effects on economic growth in many countries, it has also left them susceptible to external attempts to influence domestic regulatory standards. In this article, we explore a specific case that illustrates how domestic actors cope with such external pressures for regulatory reforms. We examine how domestic policymakers received the European Union's import ban on natural honey produced in Brazil and the actions they took in an attempt to have the ban lifted. The import ban triggered the creation of a new institution, the Honey Chamber, which helped to coordinate the interests of different sectoral actors, thereby helping to overcome institutional fragmentation. Once established, the new institution facilitated the revision of the existing regulatory standards and paved the way for the more‐rigorous monitoring of residues in honey.
