According to the FAO index, Brazilian agribusiness exports reached USD 10.8 billion in January 2026, generating a USD 9.2 billion surplus. Despite a 2.2% drop in value due to falling international prices, export volume rose 7%, driven largely by beef and other animal proteins. China led imports, followed by the EU and the US, with notable growth in sales to ASEAN. Minister Carlos Fávaro and Secretary Luis Rua attributed the sector’s strong performance to health advancements and new market access.
