Nine of the plants have already received approval, the ministry said.
Brazilian Agriculture Minister Katia Abreu said Beijing had pledged to release the remaining 17 plants in June, during her planned official visit to China. "I gave all documentation in English for the minister. He left here with the promise of quick cooperation," she said.
Sales from the 26 plants could generate US$520m in sales, the ministry added.
