From January to June 2025, Brazil exported 713,400 tonnes of pork, reflecting a 17.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Notably, June exports reached 135,500 tonnes, marking the second-highest monthly volume in Secex’s records, surpassed only by July 2024’s 137,000 tonnes. This robust performance highlights the strength of Brazil’s pork industry in meeting global demand.
The revenue generated from these exports totaled US$1.82 billion (R$9.82 billion) for the first half of 2025, a significant 49% rise from the previous year. In June alone, export earnings amounted to US$348 million (R$1.88 billion), up 14.8% from May 2025 and 49.4% higher than June 2024. These figures underscore the sector’s ability to capitalize on strong international markets.
The growth in export volume and revenue reflects Brazil’s strategic efforts to expand its presence in the global pork market, supporting economic development through increased foreign trade. The data indicates sustained demand for Brazilian pork, driven by its competitive quality and pricing, which continues to attract buyers worldwide.
Cepea’s analysis suggests that the pork sector’s focus on diversifying export destinations has contributed to this success, ensuring resilience in global trade. The industry’s ability to maintain high shipment volumes while achieving substantial revenue growth demonstrates its critical role in Brazil’s agricultural economy.
This performance aligns with broader trends in Brazil’s meat export sector, which continues to prioritize meeting international demand while supporting domestic economic growth. The pork industry’s achievements in the first half of 2025 position Brazil as a leading player in the global market, with expectations of continued strength throughout the year.
