“The growth recorded in October reinforces the positive trajectory of Brazilian pork exports in 2026. In addition to the Philippines remaining the main destination, we observed significant advances in relevant markets, especially Japan, Chile, and China. The diversification of shipments has been fundamental to compensate for occasional setbacks and expand the presence of Brazilian products in the international market,” advises the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
