SAO PAULO AGRIBUSINESS REGISTERS A SURPLUS OF USD 19 BILLION IN 2025

Between January and October 2025, São Paulo’s agribusiness sector generated a trade surplus of USD 19.07 billion. This resulted from USD 23.92 billion in exports, which made up 40.8% of the state’s total foreign sales, against USD 4.85 billion in imports. The sugar-alcohol complex led exports at USD 7.37 billion, followed by meat (USD 3.60B), forest products (USD 2.47B), juices (USD 2.43B), and soybeans (USD 2.21B); these top five sectors represented 75.5% of the total, with coffee in sixth place at USD 1.51 billion. While coffee, meat, and soybean sales grew, sugar, forestry, and juice exports fell. China remained the primary destination, with reduced sales to the U.S. after a 50% tariff being offset by other markets.
