In revenue, the accumulated increase is 26.7%, with US$ 2.039 billion recorded in the first seven months of 2025, compared to US$ 1.609 billion in the same period of the previous year.
Considering only the month of July, 126.8 thousand tons were exported, a number 8.3% lower than the same period last year, with 138.3 thousand tons.
In terms of revenue, there was a 2.2% growth in the monthly comparison, with US$ 316.1 million in July this year, against US$ 309.4 million in the seventh month of 2024.
The Philippines, the main destination for pork exports, imported 31,500 tonnes in July, a 15.8% increase compared to the same period last year, with 27,200 tonnes. Next are Chile, with 14,500 tonnes (+38.2%), China, with 11,900 tonnes (-39.4%), Japan, with 9,200 tonnes (-18.9%), Vietnam, with 6,700 tonnes (+20.5%), Singapore, with 6,100 tonnes (-45.7%), Mexico, with 6,100 tonnes (+8.8%), Hong Kong, with 6,100 tonnes (-42.6%), Uruguay, with 5,300 tonnes (+6.7%) and Argentina, with 3,200 tonnes (+722.1%).
"There has been a notable restructuring of Brazil's pork export flow in 2025. While previously we were more dependent on a single destination, we now see a balanced flow, with a certain proportionality of volume between importing nations, which will allow the sector to maintain a sustainable flow of exports throughout this year, with positive closing projections", assesses ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
Brazil's largest pork exporter, Santa Catarina state, shipped 64,500 tons in July, a 14.5% decrease compared to the previous year. Next are Rio Grande do Sul, with 29,300 tons (-3%), Paraná, with 18,800 tons (+1.9%), Minas Gerais, with 3,400 tons (+4.1%), and Mato Grosso, with 2,800 tons (-27.3%).
