Brazil: Pork meat exports increased by 13,9 percent in May

The sector's export revenue reached US$ 251.4 million, a balance that exceeds by 23% the total registered in the same period of 2022, with US$ 204.3 million. 

In the accumulated result for the year (January to May), sector shipments reached 481.1 thousand tons, a figure 15.5% higher than the result recorded in the same period of 2022, with 416.6 thousand tons.

In revenue, the accumulated balance between January and May of this year already totals US$ 1.149 billion, a result 28.2% higher than that achieved in the same period of 2022, with US$ 896.3 million.

Main importer of Brazilian pork, China imported 176.2 thousand tons between January and May, a number 20.8% higher than that registered in the same period of 2022, with 145.9 thousand tons. Also noteworthy were sales to Hong Kong, with 51.3 thousand tons (+21.1%), the Philippines, with 38 thousand tons (+17.5%), Chile, with 34.2 thousand tons (+69.6 %) and Singapore, with 29 thousand tons (+5.7%).

Largest pork exporter in Brazil, the state of Santa Catarina exported between January and May a total of 261.6 thousand tons (+14.3%), followed by Rio Grande do Sul, with 110.8 thousand tons (+19 .8%), Paraná, with 66.4 thousand tons (3.66%), Mato Grosso do Sul, with 10.9 thousand tons (+70.8%) and Mato Grosso, with 10.1 thousand tons (+ 93.9%).

"This month, it is worth highlighting the exports to the newly opened market of Mexico, one of the three largest importers in the world, and which has already placed itself among the ten main destinations for pork meat in Brazil. In turn, even with an increase of more than 20% in the volume purchased in the year, China has reduced its percentage share of total Brazilian exports, showing the success of Brazil's market diversification policy, including the possibility of opening new markets in the short term", analyzes Luís Rua, Director of Markets at ABPA.
