“In a scenario that is still challenging for pig farming, pork exports have increased significantly in the accumulated result for the year, functioning as an alternative. Brazil has grown its participation in relevant markets, in the wake of the decrease in export volumes, for example, by the European Union, the world's largest exporter, and Canada, the third largest exporter. In addition to the significant increase in volume in China, Chile and Japan are the positive highlights in the first half”, said ABPA's director of markets, Luis Rua.
