| 8162 | Brazil is preparing to export beef in Japan | Brazilian beef is preparing to arrive in Japan in the coming months and, if Roberto Perosa, current president of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec) and former Secretary of Trade and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), is to decide, this will only be the beginning. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">"In February I will travel with some businessmen to Japan for an audience with the Japanese Minister of Agriculture. Japan still depends on specific acceptances and certificates related to Brazilian products", Perosa said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to the president of Abiec, with negotiations underway, the intention is to speed up contacts so that the Brazilian government has some favourable signals in March: Perosa leaves for the Asian country on February 8.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">However, Japan is not the only priority market for the sector. Three other strategic countries are in the spotlight: Turkey, Vietnam and South Korea. These countries, together with Japan, represent 30% of the world demand for beef.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Much of the work has already been done. Negotiations with Japan, Turkey and Vietnam are in the final stages, while the process with South Korea is a little further behind. Even so, progress in negotiations with the first three countries makes us confident that we can start exporting soon", says Perosa.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to projections, Brazil could export 4.032 million tons of carcass equivalent in 2025, a slight increase compared to 2024. However, this volume represents a new level for the sector. In 2024, Brazilian beef shipments reached an all-time high, with a growth of 26% compared to 2023.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-02-03 00:15:30 | 2025-06-19 22:54:39 | Details Edit Delete | |

The data are from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex/MDIC), compiled by the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (ABIEC). | <p style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of revenue, performance was also positive, with foreign sales totaling US$ 1.17 billion in the month, an increase of 12.8% compared to February and 39.6% compared to March 2024.

There were also increases in exports of tripe (+37.3% in volume and +36.3% in value) and salted products (+35.7% in volume and +34.6% in value), compared to February. The processed and offal categories also grew by more than 9% in exported volume.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">China maintained its leadership as the main destination for Brazilian beef, with 97.3 thousand tons shipped – corresponding to 39.2% of the total volume – and US$ 463.8 million in revenue (39.4%). The United States continued to gain relevance, with a significant increase of 56.3% in volume (42.1 thousand tons) and 53% in value (US$ 225.5 million) compared to the previous month. Other markets with significant growth in volume in March were Russia, with an 81.5% increase in tons exported (from 4,494 to 8,155 t), Israel (+48.6%, from 3,334 to 4,954 t), the Philippines (+38.2%, from 4,076 to 5,631 t) and Mexico (+30.7%, from 4,421 to 5,777 t).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">From January to March this year, exports totaled 676 thousand tons (+12.8%) and generated US$ 3.22 billion in revenue (+22.1%).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The top ten markets in the quarter were China (284.6 thousand tons; 42.1% of total exports), United States (88 thousand tons; 13.0%), Chile (30.5 thousand tons; 4.5%), Hong Kong (24.1 thousand tons; 3.6%), European Union (22.4 thousand tons; 3.3%), Algeria (21.3 thousand tons; 3.1%), Russia (19.5 thousand tons; 2.9%), Egypt (18.3 thousand tons; 2.7%), Saudi Arabia (14.6 thousand tons; 2.2%) and Mexico (13.3 thousand tons; 2.0%).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The states that exported the most beef in the quarter were São Paulo, with 145 thousand tons, responsible for 21.7% of the total exported by the country, followed by Mato Grosso (137 thousand tons and 20.5% of the total), Goiás (80.8 thousand tons and 12% of the total), Mato Grosso do Sul (74.3 thousand tons and 11.1%) and Rondônia (61.9 thousand tons and 98.3%).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"The results recorded in March and in the quarter reflect not only the competitiveness and quality of Brazilian beef in the international market, but also the efficiency of the entire production chain, from the field to the export industry. It is important to highlight that only about 30% of national production is destined for export, with cuts, for the most part, different from those consumed in the domestic market. This process, in addition to preserving domestic supply, represents an important source of foreign exchange for the country, contributing strongly to the generation of jobs, income and economic development in all Brazilian regions", stated Roberto Perosa, president of ABIEC.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-04-09 00:25:53 | 2025-06-19 22:47:56 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 3056 | Mercosur deal gives access for 180,000 tons of chicken from South America | Brazilian ABPA celebrates the deal, while European producers fear the worst and ask for special support from national governments. | <p>The Brazilian Association of Animal Proteins (ABPA) celebrated in a note the announcement of the agreement signed between Mercosur and the European Union, as Brazil is going to benefit most from the deal in poultry and pork exports.<br />According to ABPA officials involved in the negotiations, chicken meat quota of exports is set at "180 thousand tons in the cycle of 12 months".</p> <p>"The agreed volume is significant enough for Brazil to maintain its position as a partner for European food security, "said ABPA Executive Director Ricardo Santin, who participated in the mission in Brussels.</p> <p>The agreement, according to the institution, also makes it viable to sell pork and processed eggs to the EU. "The agreement will score fairer and more transparent criteria in the business between the two blocs," said ABPA President Francisco Turra. Brazil is one of the largest producers of poultry, beef and pork but in the last couple of years, the meat industry in the country was shaken by several scandals involving poor quality of meat and corruption. Last year, poultry products coming from 20 Brazilian processing plants were banned in the EU.<br />Anyway, despite the optimism manifested by the EU officials, producers in several European countries didn't receive well the news.<br />Polish National Poultry Council and the Beef Sector Board from the same country have warned that the trade agreement could have catastrophic consequences if Europe will face a flood of cheap and uncertain quality of meat from Brazil and Argentina.<br />"The main beneficiary of this agreement will be Brazil, which is the world's largest exporter of poultry meat - it sells nearly 500,000 tons per year to the European Union itself. This is despite the fact that the controls carried out in 2013, 2017 and 2018 by the EC revealed a number of serious non-compliance of the Brazilian food production system with EU regulations, not to mention the famous 'Tainted Meat' scandal in 2017, which resulted in deletion from the list Brazilian suppliers to the EU market of up to 20 plants there", declared Lukasz Dominiak, CEO of KRD-IG, in an interview for <a href="https://www.portalspozywczy.pl/mieso/wiadomosci/mieso-na-wtorek-dlaczego-umowa-ue-z-mercosur-to-zla-wiadomosc-dla-branzy,173070.html">Portal Spozywczy</a> magazine.<br />The same alert was triggered among beef producers in Spain, according to Agronegocios website. "Beef, a sector with a wide presence in areas of our territory with great environmental value, already supports Mercosur imports, which account for 80% of the beef coming into the EU and any additional concession will introduce strong imbalances in this market at a time when we will also have to face the Brexit", said a joint statement of agricultural organizations in Spain such as ASAJA, COAG, UPA and Agroalimentary Cooperatives of Spain, who are also asking for governmental support in the area to protect the local industry.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-07-02 08:29:39 | 2025-06-19 21:11:40 | Details Edit Delete | ||

Per capita consumption is expected to be 45.6 kilos, 1.1% higher than that recorded last year, with 45.1 kilos. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the international market, chicken meat exports are expected to total 5.3 million tons in 2024, 3.1% higher than the volume shipped in 2023, with 5.139 million tons. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For 2025 , the sector projects to produce up to 15.3 million tons (+2.7%), with availability of around 9.9 million tons (+2.1%), with per capita consumption of 46.6 kilos (+2.2%) and exports of up to 5.4 million tons (+1.9%). </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"The Brazilian economic situation should maintain sustained levels of consumption in the domestic market, supported by the continued competitiveness of the sector. In the external scenario, new market openings are expected in Central America and African countries, in addition to increased shipments to other nations in Latin America and Asia, which should increase the diversification of destinations for our products", assesses the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the case of pork, production is expected to close 2024 at 5.35 million tons, a figure 3.8% higher than that recorded in the same period last year, with 5.156 million tons. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Domestic availability of the protein will total around 4 million tons, 1.9% higher than the availability recorded last year, with 3.926 million tons. Per capita consumption in the sector this year will grow by up to 3.8%, potentially reaching 19 kilos per capita. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The sector's exports are expected to close the year with 1.35 million tons shipped, a balance up to 9.8% higher than that recorded in 2023, with 1.23 million tons. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For 2025, the sector projects production of up to 5.45 million tons (+2%), with domestic availability of 4 million tons (stable), per capita consumption of 19 kilos (stable) and exports reaching up to 1.45 million tons (+7.4%). </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"In the foreign market, there is an expectation of an improvement in the flow to China, in addition to the qualification of new plants for destinations in Latin America, which will add to the continued demand from pre-listing markets, such as the Philippines and Chile. Domestic consumption of pork should be positively influenced by the good competitiveness of the product among meats, also influenced by production costs at balanced levels", highlights Santin.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">As for the egg sector, production this year, 2024, is expected to reach 57.6 billion units, a figure 9.8% higher than the previous year, with 52.448 billion units. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Per capita consumption will reach 269 units in 2024, a figure 11.2% higher than that recorded in the previous year, with 242 units. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The sector's exports are expected to reach 18 thousand tons, a volume 29.5% lower than last year, with 25,404 thousand tons. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For 2025, the sector projects production of 59 billion units (+2.4%), with per capita consumption of up to 272 units (+1.1%) and shipments of 21 thousand tons (+16.7%). </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"There are optimistic expectations regarding the increase in egg consumption levels in Brazil, reaching levels never seen before, which reinforces the consolidation of the protein as a basic consumption item in the country. In the international market, the opening of the European bloc and United Kingdom markets to the product is expected next year, which should change the flow of exports to positive levels", highlights the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin. </p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-12-17 00:20:04 | 2025-06-19 22:44:58 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 1334 | Brazil's meat industry in jeopardy for lack of feed as the fuel crisis deepens | Brazil's truckers refuse to end strike although the government recently offered a series of concessions regarding fuel prices and various Brazilian industries are struggling over lack of deliveries and transport options, Financial Times reported. | <p>Brazil's meat industry is in shambles after an eight-day nationwide strike over soaring fuel prices. The Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA) reports disruptions in the flow of products and feed for poultry and swine farming.</p> <p>According to a survey conducted by the Association with its members, trucks with feed, inputs for the production of animal feed (such as corn and soy) and other products are prevented from circulating in more than 300 points in 22 states across the country.</p> <p>The association also stated that since the strike began producers had to cull nearly 70 million birds and if the crisis goes on they may be forced to dispose of a similar number of birds. ABPA says that 1 billion chickens and 20 million pigs are not receiving the necessary amount of feed. Furthermore, because of the strike, volumes close to 120,000 tons of chicken and pork have ceased to be exported.</p> <p>According to Financial Times, the crisis cost the industry so far about $350 million in losses.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2018-05-29 13:04:56 | 2025-06-19 16:55:20 | Details Edit Delete | ||
