Brazil projects growth in pork production and exports despite rising corn prices
The report indicates that weather conditions in April and May will be decisive, but relief is expected in the second half of the year with the second harvest.
Currently, supply and demand in the sector are balanced, with no excessive expansion in animal slaughter.
Exports will continue to be crucial, amid a US-led trade war that could benefit Brazil. In 2025, pork production is projected to increase by 2.2%, reaching 4.6 million tons, and exports are projected to rise by 4.5%, reaching 1.6 million tons.
Brazil could increase its global market share from 15% to 16%, consolidating its position as the only one of the top five exporters with growth.
In contrast, China will decrease its purchases for the fifth consecutive year, with a forecast of 1.3 million tons imported.
