Export revenue reached US$328.2 million in the fourth month of this year, an 8.8% increase compared to April 2025, which totaled US$301.5 million.
In the first four months of the year, Brazilian pork exports reached 532,200 tons, a 14.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025, which totaled 466,000 tons. In terms of revenue, the accumulated growth reached 14.1%, with US$1.244 billion between January and April of this year, compared to US$1.090 billion recorded in the first four months of last year.
Among the main destinations for Brazilian exports in April, the Philippines remains in the lead, with 35,900 tons shipped, a volume 20.6% higher than that recorded in the same period last year. Next are Japan, with 16,600 tons (+131.9%), China, with 11,800 tons (-21.6%), Chile, with 11,100 tons (+22.8%), Hong Kong, with 8,000 tons (-34.3%), Vietnam, with 5,500 tons (+44.6%), Argentina, with 5,300 tons (-8.7%), Singapore, with 5,100 tons (-24.3%), Uruguay, with 4,600 tons (+12.7%) and Mexico, with 4,400 tons (-40.3%).
“The international flow of Brazilian pork remains quite positive in 2026, especially in Asian markets, which continue to expand their demand for animal protein. We observe significant progress in higher value-added destinations, such as Japan, in addition to the expansion of the Philippines as a major market for the Brazilian sector. The positive performance in virtually all importing markets reinforces the positive outlook projected by ABPA for this year,” assesses the association's president, Ricardo Santin.
