Brazil reports record meat exports for September
Brazil's September meat exports were the highest in the last 24 years, according to official data. Last month, Brazil exported 187,017 tonnes of fresh, chilled and frozen beef, 101,897 tonnes of pork and 388,951 tonnes of poultry meat and edible offal, all over 20% higher on the year. The September figures are the largest volumes for the month since the foreign ministry began its time series in 1997, according to Agricensus.
Furthermore, monthly volumes lifted total exports since the beginning of the calendar year to all-time highs, with beef at 1.27 million tonnes, pork at 776,620 tonnes and poultry meat at 3.2 million tonnes.
The outstanding performance of Brazil’s beef and pork exports is underpinned by China buying 56% of beef and 55% of pork shipments to date were bound to the Asian country. China remained the main destination market for Brazilian poultry meat exports, claiming 16% of volumes shipped in September.
Poultry meat volumes bound to China in the first three-quarters of 2021 fell 3% on the year but were more than offset by rising demand from other markets, especially Mexico, Philippines, Chile, United Arab Emirates and South Africa.
