Brazil: Pork exports reach highest monthly volume in history
Export revenue in September is also a record. A total of US$368.4 million was generated this year, 29.9% higher than the US$283.7 million achieved in the same period last year.
With September's impressive performance, pork shipments have already accumulated a 13.2% increase in export volume between January and September this year compared to the same period last year, totaling 1.121 million tons in 2025, compared to 990.7 thousand tons in the same period last year. Revenue growth reached 24.6%, reaching US$2.702 billion this year, compared to US$2.169 billion last year.
The Philippines continues to expand its share of Brazilian exports, with 49,000 tons of pork imported in September – a 73.9% increase compared to the same period last year. Next are China, with 13,600 tons (-18.2%), Japan, with 11,400 tons (+32.4%), Vietnam, with 9,600 tons (+39.8%), Mexico, with 9,600 tons (+55.8%), Chile, with 8,300 tons (-13.7%), Hong Kong, with 8,200 tons (-5.3%), Singapore, with 5,600 tons (+2.2%), Argentina, with 4,200 tons (+82.2%), and Georgia, with 4,000 tons (+120%).
"Although it's the main destination, the Philippines isn't the only driver of strong demand for Brazilian products, which are growing at significantly high rates in strategic markets. Demand is expected to continue, with the year ending with record results", says ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
Santa Catarina remains the largest pork exporting state, with 72.7 thousand tons exported in September (+17.4% compared to the same period of the previous year), and is followed by Rio Grande do Sul, with 35.7 thousand tons (+39.6%), Paraná, with 25.3 thousand tons (+35.5%), Minas Gerais, with 2.9 thousand tons (-10.6%) and Mato Grosso, with 3.9 thousand tons (+19.1%).
