Brazil expects another record year in pork exports

Brazilian pork exports have already surpassed the 1 million tonnes milestone, seen as a point of reference for the historical record set last year. 1.024 million tonnes of pig meat have been exported between January and November this year, according to data released by the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA). The survey conducted by the Association reveals an increase of 11.29% compared to the same period last year when 940.9 thousand tonnes were exported. In revenue, sector sales totaled $2.449 billion, a balance 17.8% greater than that registered between January and November 2020, with $2.079 billion.
Considering only the month of November, shipments of pork totaled 79,300 tonnes, a volume 9.4% less than exported in the same period in 2020, with 87,500 tonnes. Revenue from shipments in November reached $170.6 million, a balance 15.9% lower than that registered in the eleventh month of 2020, with $202.7 million. Nevertheless, the average monthly volume exported this year is 10,000 tonnes higher than the one reported in 2020, as ABPA President Ricardo Santin mentioned.
"In eleven months, pork exports have already shipped a volume that is a sector record for an entire year. This year's monthly averages are around 10,000 tonnes higher than what we did in 2020, so far, the best year in the history of pork exports. These numbers give an indication of the expressive performance of the Brazilian international presence in this year of adversity," he said.
China remained the main market for Brazilian pork exports, with 503.8 million tonnes (+7.5%). It is followed by Chile, with 57,600 tonnes (+49%). Vietnam, with 40,200 tonnes (+2.6%), Uruguay, with 38,700 tonnes (+5.9%) and Argentina, with 32,400 tonnes (+89.9%).
