Brazil’s beef export industry reached unprecedented heights in April 2024, setting a new record by shipping 236,842 tons and generating $1.043 billion in revenue. The surge, attributed to robust global demand, marked a 37.2% increase in exports compared to the same period in 2023.
António Jorge Camardelli, president of Abiec, emphasized the importance of diversifying markets to sustain growth. China, Brazil’s leading buyer, continued importing large volumes while Mexico joined the market, reflecting a positive trend for Brazilian beef.
Amidst this success, Brazil faces challenges in meeting evolving demand and adhering to health regulations. However, strategic market expansion and diversification policies have propelled the country to the forefront of global beef trading, solidifying its position as a key supplier.
With consistent growth and revenue increases, Brazil’s export strategy and international partnerships play a crucial role in achieving these record-breaking numbers. As the country navigates market fluctuations, its influence in meeting the world’s protein requirements remains strong.
